Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has withheld the salary of principals and head clerks of 223 colleges in the state for alleged gross negligence in discharge of duty.

The Higher Education department has decided to withhold the salary of principals and other staff of these colleges in several districts after taking a serious view of alleged negligence in discharging duty, sources said.

In a letter to all the principals of these colleges, the department cited non-compliance with previous orders by the Assistant Director of the department despite repeated reminders. The principals of these colleges failed to furnish the required information in response to the letters of the Assistant Director even after repeated reminders.

“You have failed to furnish the required information in response to the letters of the Assistant Director even after repeated reminders. It shows gross negligence in discharging government duty on your part along with failure to carry out instructions of authorities of the Higher Education Department,” the letter said.

The department directed the principals to not draw and release the salary/remuneration for the month of May, 2023 of themselves as well as of the head clerk/clerk of the concerned colleges till compliance of the orders are made and clearance given from the department.
