[Lucknow,UP]UP Govt Transfers 3 IAS Officers,Including Tainted Rama Raman
The Uttar Pradesh government today transferred three IAS officers, including CEO of Noida Authority Rama Raman whose transfer was ordered by the Allahabad High Court last month.
Raman has been removed from his post and put on the wait list while Principal Technical Education Monika Garg has been given additional charge of the Noida Authority as OSD,
Besides these two, Joint Magistrate of Moradabad, Harshita Mathur, has been shifted to Ballia in the same capacity, it added.
The Allahabad High Court had seized Raman s powers on July 1 acting on a petition filed by Noida resident Jitendra Kumar Goyal who had alleged that Raman had been holding three posts simultaneously for three years.
Raman was both the CEO of Noida authority and chairman of Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway authorities for the last three years.
The court had then pointed out that the state government had “failed to follow its own policy” that an officer should not continue on the same post for a long period of time.
After the high court orders, the Uttar Pradesh government, on July 19, appointed Pravir Kumar as chairman of the three authorities.
Raman, however, continued as Noida authority s CEO.
The court had later asked the state government if it could shunt Raman out as the Noida authority s CEO.
