The West Bengal government on Tuesday released a list of 243 officials and nominated individuals who have now been relieved of their responsibilities, marking a sweeping administrative move to end post-retirement continuance in various government bodies, boards and organisations, a senior official said.
The development comes a day after the new BJP government on Monday directed all departments to immediately terminate the tenures of nominated members, directors and chairpersons of various non-statutory bodies, boards, organisations and public sector undertakings under their control.
In an official order, the state government also instructed departments to end the re-employment and extension of service of officers and officials who have continued in service beyond the normal age of superannuation of 60 years.
Following these directives, the Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department at Nabanna on Tuesday published the list of 243 individuals who have been relieved of their duties with immediate effect. — PTI
