Menon to continue as DM Sukma: Govt

Raipur, May 04, 2012: Chhattisgarh government today made it clear that Alex V F Paul Menon V, who was taken hostage by the Maoists for 13 days, would continue as Sukma Collector.

"Menon would continue as the Sukma Collector," a state government order said here today.

The state government today also issued order relieving Om Prakash Choudhary from the additional charge of Sukma as District Collector.

Choudhary would, however, continue as the Dantewada Collector.
