Ranchi: Jharkhand Assembly Speaker C P Singh on Wednesday asked the state government to probe how a local newspaper could publish purported details of the budget of 2012-13 even before it was tabled in the house.

"Get it probed how the budget contents leaked and take action against any erring official within a week," Singh told Chief Minister Arjun Munda in the house. The Speaker ruling came after Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantric) MLA Pradip Yadav drew the attention of the chair to a newspaper carrying a report on purported budget details today even before the government tabled it.
