Odisha Transport Corporation Halts Salaries of Three Officials Over Negligence
The Odisha State Transport Corporation (OSTC) has taken strict disciplinary action against three officials of the Jajpur Transport Department following allegations of negligence in duty.
The Managing Director of the Corporation ordered the stoppage of salaries for District Manager Ishwar Mahapatra, Additional Manager Jyoti Prakash Behera, and Officer Pritish Kumar Nayak.
The directive states that the officials will not receive their salaries until they resume duties after suspension.
The move comes after a departmental inquiry confirmed lapses in their responsibilities.
The Corporation emphasised that the decision reflects its commitment to accountability and discipline within the organisation.
This action has sparked discussions in administrative circles, highlighting the government’s intent to tighten oversight in public service departments and ensure greater responsibility among officials.
