FIR lodged against 7 IAS officers

-

Rourkela: Kalinga Sena president Hemanta Rath today lodged an FIR against seven IAS officers in the state for their role in illegal appointment and misappropriation of public funds.

All the seven IAS officers named in the FIR- Soumya Prasad Mishra, V Karthikeyan Pandian, Sujata Karthikeyan, Shalini Pandit, Krishan Kumar, Debjani Chakrabarty and Nitin Bhanudas Jawale- were the secretary of the Rourkela Development Authority (RDA) at some point of time or the other when the illegality took place, the FIR said.

Quoting from a purported audit report, Rath told newsmen later that the then secretary of RDA M Seshadri had appointed Manoj Kumar Dash as legal assistant in RDA in complete violation of Odisha Development Authorities Rules. After an inquiry, the then Project director of ITDA Usha Padhi found the appointment ‘illegal’ following which the then collector and vice chairman of RDA ordered the removal of Dash from his post.

The audit report recommended stoppage of salary and increment to Dash, but he continues to receive his pay and perks even to this day, Rath said alleging all the IAS officers named in the FIR facilitated the loot of public exchequer in their capacity as the secretary of RDA.
