With regards to the complaint filed against Water Resource commissioner T Ranjit alleging of promoting 21 assistant engineers to the post of executive engineer based on a non-existing DPC, the commissioner on Saturday clarified that the promotion was done with a proper DPC.
The complaints were filed to the PM and State Vigilance Department by one R Peichun of Keishamthong Kabui Khul, Angom Sarjurani Devi of Awang Sekmai, K Koshang Maring of Nungourok Village and Laishram Purnimashi Devi of Singjamei, alleged that the commissioner abused his official position by issuing an illegal order of promotion.
Speaking to the media at his office in Imphal, Ranijit expressed strong condemnation against such allegations made without factual verification from the department.
The commissioner, who is scheduled to take his retirement on January 31, said, “I don’t have any negative mark in my 35 years of career. Such baseless allegations made during the verge of my retirement hurts me and seems to insult me morally to tarnish my reputation.”
He maintained that the DPC was carried out with due procedure of the cabinet with consent of the concerned minister with requisition from the concerned departments and subject to a final outcome and judgment of a SLP of the Supreme Court.
