Nutritious supplement in the form of traditional Sukhdi sweet was never distributed among pregnant women, but fake bills worth Rs 7,80,000 were created and claimed by Anganwadi workers and sevika. The District Development Officer(DDO) of Junagadh is probing this alleged scam involving Visavadar taluks’s anganwadi schools, on complain received by Anganwadi workers.
