Digital Desk: Following charges that they entered the company
using illicit methods, at least 217 employees of Assam Fisheries Development
Corporation (AFDC) Ltd may be fired. According to sources, the employees have
also received a show-cause notice asking them to give a justification for why
they should keep their jobs. The employees have been invited to respond by July
28 or earlier.
The change occurred as a result of a committee led by the Additional
Chief Secretary discovering that this personnel was hired via unethical
methods. After reviewing the committee's report, the AFDC MD issued a notice to
the employees informing them that it appeared they had been hired without
authorization and without conducting an interview after checking all pertinent
papers. If they (the accused employees) don't provide a good response by the
deadline, they will be fired from their jobs. State Fisheries Minister Parimal
Suklabaidya was quoted in the media as saying, "The state administration
has adopted a zero-tolerance attitude toward corruption, and the guilty won't
be spared."
As these personnel were hired during his time as the Chairman of the
Assam Fisheries Development Corporation, BJP MLA Ramakanta Deuri has also come
under scrutiny. Deuri, on the other hand, refuted the accusations and asserted
that the accused were offered jobs with daily salaries.
