UP Government Takes Strict Action Against 13 Junior Engineers in Lucknow
The Directorate of Urban Local Bodies in Uttar Pradesh has made a decisive move. They have terminated the appointments of 13 junior engineers. These engineers were recruited three years ago through a formal selection process.
Failure to Report for Duty Leads to Termination
Despite receiving their joining letters, these 13 individuals never reported for their assigned duties. The directorate issued multiple reminders over the years. The engineers failed to provide necessary documents to complete their appointment formalities.
Senior officials expressed frustration with the situation. A clear two-year timeframe was established for all selected candidates after they got their joining letters. The final deadline for document submission and reporting was set for January 28.
Background of the Recruitment Drive
The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) conducted a large recruitment drive. They advertised 1,388 positions for junior engineers across the state. Approximately 330 engineers were successfully inducted into various urban local bodies.
These engineers were deputed to different departments. Their assignments included electrical work, information technology roles, and water works management. The recruitment aimed to strengthen municipal infrastructure across Uttar Pradesh.
Final Deadline and Termination Order
Authorities waited patiently for the 13 engineers to comply with requirements. Regular follow-ups and reminders were sent through official channels. When no response came by the January 28 deadline, action became inevitable.
The termination order was officially issued on January 8. This decision came after exhausting all reasonable avenues for communication. The directorate emphasized that such positions are crucial for public service delivery.
This termination serves as a strong message about accountability in government appointments. It underscores the importance of timely compliance with official procedures. The vacant positions may now be filled through fresh recruitment processes.
