The Odisha State Transport Corporation has ordered the stoppage of salaries for three officials of the Jajpur Transport Department following allegations of negligence in duty.
The Managing Director of the Corporation issued the directive, stating that the officials will not receive their salaries until they resume duties after suspension. The action comes as part of departmental proceedings initiated against them.
The officials include District Manager Ishwar Mahapatra, Additional Manager Jyoti Prakash Behera, and Officer Pritish Kumar Nayak. After a departmental inquiry confirmed lapses in their responsibilities, the Corporation moved to enforce strict disciplinary measures.
This decision underscores the Transport Corporation’s intent to ensure accountability and discipline within its ranks. The matter has sparked discussion in administrative circles, highlighting the government’s focus on tightening oversight in public service departments.
