SDM of Naraini, Banda, suspended for severe negligence in public interest work.

Lucknow : The Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh continues its stringent action against corruption under its zero-tolerance policy. Close on the heels of suspension of five officers, including the SDM and Naib Tehsildar in Firozabad, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Thursday, suspended Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Vikas Yadav of Naraini, Banda. 

Vikas Yadav’s suspension is based on negligence, supervisory indifference, and misconduct in matters of public interest. He has been found incapable of fulfilling his official duties properly and is also accused of tarnishing the government’s image. 

During his suspension, Vikas Yadav will be attached to the Lucknow office of the Deputy District Magistrate Commissioner and Secretary, Revenue Council, Uttar Pradesh.

During his suspension, Vikas Yadav will receive only half his salary and be deprived of all benefits, including dearness allowance. He will face a departmental inquiry, and a charge sheet will be filed against him. 

It is noteworthy that the Yogi government recently took significant action in Firozabad’s Sirsaganj tehsil, where land was sold illegally and suspiciously allotted to close associates. 

Following Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directives, the Deputy District Magistrate, Naib Tehsildar, Revenue Inspector, Lekhpal, and Peshkar were suspended, and the District Magistrate was instructed to register an FIR and initiate departmental action against them.
