In what a section of retired bureaucrats called “avoidable fallout” of an “ego clash” between Centre and State, talks to strike a compromise between the Centre and Mamata Banerjee Government on the controversial Alapan Bandopadhyay issue seems to have fizzled out.
The Central Government is likely to take “strong action” against the retired Bengal Chief Secretary for dereliction of duty meaning thereby that the retired top official may suffer heavily in terms of his post retirement benefits sources at State secretariat Nabanna said.
According to sources a memorandum from Delhi that was received about ten days ago by Nabanna says that penalty proceedings would soon start against the former Bengal Chief Secretary for failing to abide by the orders of the Prime Minister’s Office.
