In a recent development, disciplinary actions have been recommended against two administrative officers in Himachal Pradesh following procedural discrepancies during the bidding for a technical support agency under the Rural Livelihood Mission.
The secretary of the rural development department has reached out to the secretary of the personnel department, advocating actions against Anil Kumar, ex-CEO of the State Rural Livelihood Mission (SRLM), and Kalyani Gupta, a previous block development officer.
The inquiries suggest that the bidding process, conducted between 2022 and 2024, was flawed and did not follow the prescribed government rules, including the Himachal Pradesh Financial Rules of 2009. Anil Kumar overlooked crucial steps such as obtaining financial sanctions. Their explanations, due by January 31, were unsatisfactory, prompting recommendations for disciplinary actions.
