THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader V D Satheesan has written to chief secretary V P Joy demanding that the government should stop taking revenge on the official, who had parted with the files containing information related to the illegal tree felling order under the RTI Act.
In his letter to the chief secretary on Friday, Satheesan said that the “good service entry” that was cancelled for Salini O G, former under-secretary of revenue department, should be restored immediately. “Cancelling the good service entry of an official that was awarded after analyzing the official’s services is unheard of and strange. Such a decision is derogatory for a person who serves with honesty and dedication,” he said.
The officer has also petitioned revenue minister K Rajan requesting withdrawal of adverse remarks about her in the order withdrawing her good service entry by the government.
In her petition, Salini, who was transferred as assistant director in the directorate of general education (higher secondary), said that at least the remarks in the order be withdrawn even if the “good service entry” is cancelled. Her petition is under the chief secretary’s consideration.
