Vaibhav Waghmare, who had been serving as a project officer and assistant collector at Integrated Tribal Development Project at Dharni in Melghat since July 2021, resigned from his post on Saturday.

He had previously helped set up Moha Bank in 300 tribal villages to arrange employment for tribal youngsters. He also worked towards the success of the area’s vaccination drive.

His sudden resignation has given rise to speculations. However, the reasons behind it still remain unclear.
