The Assam government has terminated the services of Arup Kumar Chakraborty, a 1999-batch Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer, due to alleged misconduct and violation of service rules. Following a departmental inquiry, the Personnel Department found Chakraborty guilty and issued an order for his dismissal. The action was taken in response to various accusations, including irregularities in recruitment and prolonged unauthorized absence from duty.
The inquiry revealed that Chakraborty had been absent from work without proper approval and had repeatedly failed to attend office during official hours. This behavior was deemed a serious breach of the Assam Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, leading to the government’s decision to dismiss him from service. The Personnel Department carefully reviewed the inquiry’s outcomes before finalizing the order to remove the officer from government employment.
The Assam government’s move to dismiss Chakraborty underscores its commitment to upholding accountability and discipline within the state bureaucracy. Recent years have seen the government taking similar disciplinary actions against officials accused of corruption, misconduct, negligence, and service norm violations. Any further necessary steps, as per relevant laws and administrative protocols, will be based on the findings of the departmental inquiry.
