He said all measures are being taken to ensure that such a misuse of government funds does not take place in future.
As many as 11 cases against various district officials have been registered so far in connection with the scam.
A former district welfare officer, Rinku Singh Rahi, had alleged a multi-crore scam in the social welfare department, after which the state government had ordered a probe into his charges.
