Early Times Report
Srinagar, Oct 25: The government has, finally, terminated 133 class IV employees in the Health Department who were appointed illegally many years ago in Anantnag and Kulgam districts of south Kashmir.
An order in this direction was issued on October 14, according to sources.
Earlier this year the administrative department had issued an ambiguous and illegitimate order directing the Director of Health Kashmir to release salary in favour of the 133 employees who had been employed through backdoor means. Early Times had carried a detailed report on the issue, forcing the government to quash the order.
As per details available, all the 133 illegal appointees were appointed from 2008 onwards by various Chief Medical Officers and Block Medical Officers in Anantnag and Kulgam. The officials had forged signatures of retired officers of the Health Department as well.
The Commissioner Secretary had taken serious note on this issue and order for release of salary was quashed in May this year and now all the 133 appointees have been terminated.
The illegal class IV appointments by way of fake appointment orders were mostly made in their respective districts in connivance with the higher-ups.
These appointments, according to sources, were allegedly made against illegal gratification/monetary considerations ranging between Rs 1 to 5 lakh for each appointment.
Some of the appointees were relatives of the district officials including CMOs, BMOs and other clerical staff. As per authentic information the service books of these fake appointees were constructed 'illegally' in hospitals in nexus with BMOs and executive staff. It is impossible to create such documents without the nod of the BMO concerned. The district officials would also transfer these employees illegally from one block to another to facilitate their employment.
The officers used to formulate the service book of the fake appointee in the new block to put lid on the wrongdoings," the sources added.
The employees were mostly engaged in Sallar, Seer, Achabal, Larnoo, Damhal Hanjipora, Qaimoo, Bijbehara, Mattan, Shangus and Dooru blocks in connivance with the BMOs and dealing assistants. In one such order, a dental surgeon was also appointed in block Shangus in 2008 against a vacant post. The order claimed that the candidate had the recommendations of the then Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare. As per the order copies, the Saffaiwallas and class IV employees were placed in the grade pay scale against the available vacancy in the blocks without undergoing any recruitment process. Ironically, every order contains various references and recommendations including those of ministers and bureaucrats. |
