A total 129 Group A and Group B officers of the government of India have been sacked over the past one year for non-performance, Union minister of state for personnel Jitendra Singh said on Tuesday .The “compulsory retirement“ of 30 Group A and 99 Group B officers -ordered under Rule 56(J) of CCS Pension Rules, 1972 -is an outcome of an ongoing review of service record of 24,415 Group A officers and 42,521Group B officers over the past few months. The review had found the said officers to be `deadwood', based on adverse inputs obtained from their respective departments, leading the department of personnel and training to order their compulsory retirement for service “in public interest“.
The Centre had in January terminated a senior IAS officer on grounds of non-performance.
Earlier in 2014, graft-taint ed IAS couple in Madhya Pradesh, Arvind and Tinoo Joshi, were dismissed from service.
Singh, while briefing mediapersons on the achievements of departments under his charge in the past three years of Modi regime, said the government has zero-toler ance policy towards corruption and is committed to ensure citizen-centric governance. The government, he said, is working on finalising amendments to the Lokpal Act, primarily to plug the inadequacies in the original Act drafted by the UPA government.
Two issues that a ministerial panel examining the report of a parliamentary standing committee, is seized of are inclusion of leader of the single largest opposition party , in the absence of a leader of the opposition, in the selection committee as well as specifying the tenure of the jurist member on the panel.
