Forest Corporation officers need 'cook', have hired 40 people themselves; Did not take permission from the government

The luxurious lifestyle of the officials of Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation is costing the state exchequer. He hired outsourced employees without permission and hired about 40 cooks. Of these, around 35 officers work from their homes, while five are posted in offices and other locations. The surprising thing is that every cook deployed without permission also gets an honorarium of ₹ 17,000 per month from the Forest Corporation. Complaints were received that many officers also took honorarium in the name of their next of kin. After receiving the complaint and learning about it, the government expressed its displeasure. The managing director was instructed to take immediate action and remove the cook. The case is currently being investigated. Violation of terms of service? Under the rule of the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Forest Development Corporation was ordered to appoint Cook to the post of Divisional Sales Manager (DLM), Regional Manager (RM), General Manager (GM) and Managing Director (MD). But as per the service rules of Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation, only MD and two GMs are allowed to have cooks. Despite this, everyone from administrative officers to DLM and RM hired outsourced cooks for themselves. The surprising thing is that no government permission was taken for this. Relatives of officers have also shown themselves to be cooks. Employee leaders allege that many officers have posed as cooks by listing their family members in outsourcing agencies, causing loss to the state exchequer. In return, he receives a monthly honorarium from the Forest Development Corporation. The officials of the department are defrauding the Forest Development Corporation of lakhs of rupees. As a result, there is clearly anger among the employees of Forest Development Corporation. Instructions for removal of employees: Briefing on this matter, Principal Secretary (Forest) RK Sudhanshu said that a large number of outsourced employees have been deployed on many posts, including cooks and sailors in the Forest Corporation.
