Gorakhpur. Revenue employees who are negligent in the work of ordinary people related to the tehsil have started facing action. On Tuesday, nine accountants in seven tehsils of the district have been suspended on charges of negligence.

Among these, two accountants have each been suspended in Bansgaon and Khajni, and one accountant in Campierganj, Sahajanwa, Gola, Sadar, and Chauri Chaura tehsils.
