Yogi Adityanath Cracks Down On Corruption In Meerut and GB Naga
(PTI)
PCS officer, Randhir Singh Duhan of the 1991 batch was dismissed by the government after he was summoned for an inquiry for allegedly ordering the auction of 467 bighas of enemy property land when he was posted as ADM (land acquisition) in Shamli district in 2012-2013, reported HT. Surprisingly, Duhan last month itself had exposed the alleged involvement of officials that included two district magistrates and an additional district magistrate, in a land scam in Meerut-Delhi Expressway project. On the other hand, Ghanshyam Singh, the additional district magistrate (finance and revenue) in Gautam Buddh Nagar was suspended for procuring a Rs 7-crore compensation for himself. He has been allegedly manipulating records related to land acquisition for the Meerut-Delhi Expressway project.
Keeping up with the practice of suspending non-performing officials, CM Yogi Adityanath had earlier on Sunday ordered the suspension of two police station incharges and directed an inquiry into allegations about their involvement in illegal mining. Amidst rising number of reports of incidents of violence and crime across the state, the Yogi government earlier in the month of May this year, had decided to do away with the practice of suspending non-performing officials. CM had decided to give two chances to non-performing officials and then dismiss them from their respective jobs, reported Hindi Daily Amar Ujala.
