The officials said there are many states who had not carried out the review despite the Centre's reminder.
"The states of Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Tripura and Uttarakhand have not carried out intensive review of record of officers in respect of 25 years of service," a senior official said citing an official data.
He said timely review of service record was necessay to check corruption and deadwood from the governance.
"The central government has been following a policy of zero tolerance towards corruption. At the same time it is necessary to conduct a thorough review of officers so that they do not lack in performing their duty towards people. Those found non-performing need to bid good bye from the government service and the ones performing need to be rewarded to ensure god governance," the official added. |
