The Yogi Adityanath government in UP on Wednesday said that in pursuance of its ‘zero tolerance’ policy against corruption, it has given compulsory retirement to over 200 tainted officials and employees in the past two years, while more than 400 others are under the scanner for ‘exemplary punishment’.
The move has been initiated on the basis of a report of a screening committee formed in July 2017, soon after the BJP government came to power and Yogi ordered to identify officials and employees who have crossed 50 years of age and are involved in graft cases.
“The government has given forced retirement to 201state employees. Many are on the radar,” UP minister and government spokesperson Shrikant Sharma said, adding that 417 others are being watched and could get ‘exemplary punishment’. Sharma said all departments have been asked to prepare a list of officials facing corruption charges.
Among those who have been given forced retirement, 51 are from the home department, 36 from revenue, eight from basic education, seven from dairy development and six from cane development. Besides, five employees each of urban development and excise departments and three of khadi and village development board were also handed over retirement letters, said official sources.
