Illegal appointments made in the State Civil Supplies Corporation eight months ago will be cancelled. Action will be taken against the officers and employees responsible after the probe and thereafter submission of its report will be made to the State Government.
A decision to this effect was taken at the Board of Directors meeting at the Corporation held here. Illegal appointment of regular and contract employees, including 35 data entry operators and 49 junior technical assistants, has been made in the State Civil Supplies Corporation (CSC) in July-August 2013, it was alleged.
Among the 49 junior technical assistants, 14 are regular. After appointment, all of them were sent to different districts, including Raipur. Angry with this illegal appointment, Food Secretary Vikash Sheel and Director Umesh Agrawal have sought information from the Corporation.
It has been said that in the recently held Board of Directors meeting, the directors have taken umbrage at the illegal appointment and decided to cancel all the appointments immediately.
A Committee would be formed to probe into the issue and action would be taken against the officers and employees responsible. The Managing Director will send the action taken report to the State Government.
It has been said that based on complaints at the Government-administration level, some illegally appointed employees were removed from their service, but the remaining are still at work. On the other hand, with the decision of the Board of Directors, officers and employees in the Corporation are disturbed and are trying to save each other.
Secretary Vikash Sheel said that the Managing Director of the corporation has been ordered to remove all the illegally appointed employees from their services and to take action against the officers and employees responsible for the illegal appointment.
