In a startling incident, the Urban Administration and Development Department in Chhattisgarh has come under scrutiny after transferring a sub-engineer who had passed away two months prior. The deceased, Yoganand Som, who was posted at the Dalli Rajhara Municipal Corporation, was transferred to the Tumgaon Nagar Panchayat in an order issued by the department. This oversight has raised serious questions about the department’s efficiency and the upkeep of its records. The incident has exposed a significant administrative lapse, with the department failing to update its files and records, leading to the issuance of the transfer order as if the individual was still alive. Following the discovery of this error, the transfer order was subsequently amended. This event underscores the level of negligence prevalent within the administrative system.
