PANJIM: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday said the government will prematurely retire all those non-performing employees from the services, across all departments in the public interest.
Speaking to mediapersons, Sawant said the Office Memorandum (OM) issued by the general administration department is not restricted to only the Secretariat but all departments across State. “Strict action will be taken against all such non-performing staffers,” he said.
It may be recalled that Under Secretary of the Department of General Administration (GA) Shaila Bhosle had on Tuesday issued an office memorandum to heads of office of all the departments in the Secretariat to initiate strict action against such employees by invoking service rules/Fundamental Rule-56 (j), which empowers the appropriate authority to retire any government servant in the public interest.
The Chief Minister said a fresh OM will be issued with necessary amendments thereby making it mandatory for implementation in all departments.
In the OM, Bhosle had said that instances have come to the notice and time and again various requests are being made from various departments housed in the Secretariat to replace some staff due to their lethargic approach towards office duties, disobedience, frequent late coming and for their “absolutely no interest to learn” behaviour.
