Taking a cue from the Centre, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that there was no place for corrupt officers and staff in the government and they could be shown the door by giving them compulsory retirement.
The Chief Minister said this while reviewing the work of Secretariat Administration department at Lok Bhawan here on Thursday.
He asked the officials to prepare a list of corrupt officers, saying that such officers could be forced to take voluntary retirement.
He also advised firm action against corrupt employees, saying that they be barred from promotion.
Yogi also asked the officials to ensure payment of employees’ dues pending for over four months and to take action on issues related to promotion, filling up of vacancies and retirement of employees.
Enquiring about e-office system, Yogi directed officials to expedite work on connecting every office with the system.
“It (e-office system) should later be taken to district offices and arrangements should be made to preserve important documents of the secretariat,” he said.
Yogi also issued directive that data of employees be fed on Manav Sampada portal so that their service-related matters could be disposed of in a time-bound manner.
“Soon, biometric system will be installed in secretariat,” he said.
Speaking on sanitation and security, Yogi directed officials to ensure foolproof security check points in the secretariat and related offices.
“No unwanted person should enter any administrative office without official permission and mobile phones be banned for unauthorised persons,” he advised.
The Chief Minister also issued instruction that all auditoriums be named after great personalities. He asked secretariat officials to coordinate with municipal corporation and remove hoardings in front of Vidhan Bhawan and Lok Bhawan.
Yogi also advocated the strengthening of IGRS (Integrated Grievance Redressal System) monitoring so that complainants could be redressed by the government as it would help in bringing transparency and creating a positive image of the government.
The meeting was also attended by Additional Chief Secretary (Secretariat Administration) Mahesh Kumar Gupta, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister SP Goyal and other officials of the department.
