Uttarakhand: 40 government houses will be forcefully vacated from dismissed employees recruited through backdoor, police force sought
The matter of illegal recruitment in Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha is again in the headlines. This time the matter has come into discussion for forceful action by the State Property Department on the dismissed employees. In fact, the prescribed authority has demanded police force to remove illegal encroachments, so that the former employees of the Vidhan Sabha who have occupied the government residences of the State Property Department despite several notices can be removed from here.
Government residences will be vacated forcibly
Forceful action will be taken to remove the employees who have got illegal appointment in Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha from government buildings. There are 40 such residences of the State Property Department, which are occupied by these dismissed employees. After the dismissal of these employees by the Vidhan Sabha, notices have been issued to such employees several times to vacate the house. Despite this, the dismissed employees are not ready to follow the government instructions. However, keeping in view the humanitarian aspects, the officials of the State Property Department gave enough time to these dismissed employees and notices were issued giving them enough opportunity to move to another residence. Despite all this, the dismissed employees did not leave the government building and now action is going to be taken to remove these employees forcefully.
State Property Department will vacate the housing
Prescribed Officers Dinesh Pratap Singh has written a letter to the Senior Superintendent of Police for this to provide police force. At the same time, now the State Property Department has to take action for this. There are many such employees who have been applying for government housing for a long time. In such a situation, after this action is taken, these needy employees will be able to get housing only by the government.
Case of Assembly Backdoor Recruitment
This case of dismissed employees is currently going on in the Nainital High Court and the High Court has also summoned the details of action taken against the people involved in the Assembly Recruitment case from the state government. In this case, a petitioner had filed a petition in the High Court and talked about the back door recruitment, corruption and irregularities in the Assembly.
Case of 228 dismissed employees
In this case, in September 2022, Assembly Speaker Ritu Khanduri dismissed 228 employees from the Assembly. On the basis of an investigation report, it was found that all these appointments were made through the back door. The appointments made in the assembly were made during the tenure of Govind Singh Kunjwal, who was the Speaker of the Assembly during the tenure of the Congress and Premchand Aggarwal, the Speaker of the Assembly in the BJP government. A three-member committee was formed in the matter under the chairmanship of retired IAS officer DS Kotia. When this committee submitted its report to the Speaker of the Assembly, on 24 September 2022, the Speaker considered the recruitments illegal and issued orders to dismiss 228 employees.
In this case, now a voice has been raised for action against those people who had made these recruitments. However, this matter is going on in the High Court and the Nainital High Court has also sought a reply from the government on this.
