The Odisha government has given compulsory retirement to six more officials on grounds of corruption and inefficiency, officials said in Bhubaneswar.<\/p>\n
The six government servants include three engineers, a police inspector, an additional civil supply officer (ACSO) and district welfare officer (DWO). With this, the State government has sacked 158 corrupt and inefficient officials, so far.<\/p>\n
The executive engineers are Saroj Kumar Das, Dayanidhi Samal and Karunakar Ghadei. They are serving under the Public Health Engineering Organisation (PHEO) of the housing and urban development department.<\/p>\n
Das and Samal have been given compulsory retirement for their inefficiency and unsatisfactory performances, while action has been taken against Ghadei as he is facing a corruption case and his performance was also not satisfactory, the State government said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Ratnakar Mallik, a police inspector of Angul district, has been removed from service for his incompetence whereas Ratnakar Sethi, ACSO of Nuapada district, has been sacked on corruption charges.<\/p>\n
Sethi is facing two corruption cases. Vigilance department sleuths had seized disproportionate assets of Rs 6.5 crore from possession of Sethi following raids and sent him to jail.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the government said it has taken such action against Charulata Mallik, a former district welfare officer of Angul, for indulging in corruption practices. Mallik was put under suspension after vigilance department sleuths caught her red handed while accepting a bribe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
