Baripada: The Mayurbhanj administration has decided to withhold the salaries of 843 officers for the district’s worst performance in the progressive ‘Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana’, a centre scheme which aims to ensure ‘Housing for All’ goal.

In a letter Block Development Officers (BDOs), Say raised serious concerns over the district’s poor performance and instructed them to withhold the salaries of the officers whose performance was found to be wanting.  “Even after repeated instructions and monitoring, performance in completion of rural housing is not satisfactory. Furthermore, it is found that the performance of 843 officers, out of 1016, is very poor. They have not even achieved 63% completion, even if after elapsed of 1 year. Their effort in completion of rural houses is very less in comparison to state average (63%), which is totally unacceptable,” the letter read.

The collector directed that salary of these 843 low performing officers should not be released from the month of October 2024 till achievement of 63% against their target.

No comments could be obtained from the BDOs or the ‘non-performing’ officers in this connection.
