Birthday greeting for Chouhan lands bureaucrat in trouble
March 10, 2008| Bhopal: An Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer
here has landed in trouble as his name appeared in a newspaper
advertisement wishing Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh
Chouhan on his birthday, going against service rules.
The name of Raghuvir Shrivastava, managing director of the Madhya
Pradesh Tribal Development Corporation, was published in a newspaper
advertisement greeting Chouhan on his birthday March 5.
The General Administration Department Saturday asked the official to
explain the reason behind the act, sources said.
Shrivastava's name and designation were printed prominently in the
advertisement in a regional daily along with a photograph of
corporation chairman V.S. Kokadiya.
"While the chairman, being a political appointee, can give such
advertisements, Shrivastava's name in the advertisement is violation
of Section 3 (1) the of All India Service Conduct Rules, 1968," an
official said.
Section 3 (1) of conduct rules says that every member of the service
shall at all times maintain absolute integrity and devotion to duty
and shall do nothing that is unbecoming of a member of the service.
Shrivastava, a 1992 batch IAS officer, has reportedly told the General
Administration Department that he was not aware of the corporation
advertisement carrying his name, adding that the chairman might have
given it.
But the department is apparently not satisfied with the verbal reply
and may issue a notice to him, the sources said. (IANS)
