The Government while taking several measures for human resource development of employees of J&K by addressing issues like adhocism, timely promotions and conduct of DPCs, suitable trainings etc. is, however, also firm on weeding out inefficient and Corrupt Government employees.
In its resolve to make administration efficient and transparent, the Government is taking firm action against the employees found guilty of misconduct and inefficiency. Acting tough against such employees, the Government today, after scrutinizing records of government servants in terms of Article 226(2) of the J&K Civil Service Regulations, 1956 regulating cases of employees with inefficient working and service misconduct, along with departmental internal reviews, ordered premature retirement of 36 police personnel.
The designated review committee had found instances of underperformance, criminal cases and corruption cases etc. It further said that all 36 police officials have doubtful integrity and exhibited lack of dedication towards assigned duties.
“It would be in public interest to retire them prematurely in terms of Article 226 of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service Regulations, 1956,” the Designated Review Committee had recommended.
The Authorities while taking a serious view have directed that all such similar cases may be identified and action may be initiated, besides, the public servants should remain cautious while discharging their official duties and any such public servant who is found to be involved in any official misconduct, inefficient in public service deliverance and corruption, shall not be allowed to continue in the Government service.
