Negligence Uncovered: Chhattisgarh Department Transfers Dead Employee

An embarrassing situation has arisen in Chhattisgarh’s administrative department, with the Urban Administration and Development Department issuing a transfer order for a deceased sub-engineer. Yoganand Som, who was stationed at the Dalli Rajhara Municipal Corporation, was transferred to the Tumgaon Nagar Panchayat, despite having died two months earlier. The incident points to a severe lapse in the department’s record-keeping and overall operational efficiency. The transfer order was subsequently modified after the error was identified, but not before highlighting significant administrative shortcomings. The incident has become a focal point for criticism, shedding light on systemic issues within the governmental framework.
