Chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said that the State Government will now focus on compulsory retirement scheme for officers who are inefficient and shirk their work. In an informal interaction with media persons at the secretariat here on Monday, he said that complaints have been received often regarding the lethargy and inefficiency of officials. The government will now consider retiring such officials. Rawat also warned the officials to bring about the required improvement in their functioning.
The chief minister said, “Officers are meant to work and fulfill the responsibility assigned to them. Officers are supposed to work more, they are not made officers to shirk their work. They should work and not avoid work by shirking their responsibilities. Such officers who do not bring the required improvement in their functioning will be accorded retirement to check the questions that are raised regarding the functioning of officers in Uttarakhand.”
