Vijayawada: The suspension of irrigation department's section officer in the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat is snowballing into a major controversy with the official stating that he did not commit any mistake and is ready to face any inquiry.

It may be recalled that the officer, Venkata Rami Reddy, was suspended on charges of withholding a Government Order (GO). Speaking to the media he said that the matter has brought to the notice of the employees union. The latter on its part said that it will comment on the suspension within two days.

On Wednesday evening, several employees tried to stage a protest at the C Block of the Secretariat against the suspension of Venkata Rami Reddy. They were, however, prevented from doing by the police. Following the stifling of the protest, the employees vented their anger on employees union president Murali Krishna. Late in the evening, a meeting of the employees and Murali Krishna began to discuss the suspension of the section officer.

Meanwhile, the YSRCP strongly protested the suspension of section officer Venkata Rami Reddy. The party said that the suspension was arbitrary and unjustified.
