| Govt declares 21 junior officers as deadwood, terminates services |
| 2016-11-23 |
| [Daily Excelsior] The Government today ordered termination of services of 21 Government employees of various departments after declaring them as deadwood on the basis of reports obtained against them from the Vigilance Organisation. Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who holds charge of General Administration Department (GAD), approved the proposal today after which the GAD issued individual termination orders to all 21 Government employees giving them compulsory retirement by invoking Article 226 against them. Official sources told the Excelsior that the officers/officials terminated from the Government services today belonged to Public Health Engineers (PHE), Power Development Department (PDD), Consumer Affairs and Civil Supplies Distribution Department, Revenue etc. The Government didn’t release the list of Government officers declared as deadwood to the media. Instead, it directly dispatched termination notices individually to all 21 officers informing them that they have been declared as deadwood and, accordingly, removed from the services in view of corruption and other charges of irregularities and that their services were no more required to the Government. The terminated officers were picked up as they had completed mandatory requirements under the Government Service Rules like their age, particular period of services. They will be paid 3-month salary in advance. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... what has raised question mark over the Government’s drive to weed out corruption from the Government offices was the fact that no senior or higher ranking officer falls in the list of dismissed officers/officials and only junior and low ranking officers have been dismissed. |
