Kolkata ISI Director removed from post
Kolkata, June 13
Director of prestigious Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) in Kolkata Bimal Roy has been removed from the post and S Banerjee was reinstated as Director-designate with effect from June 10.
The order, which was uploaded on the website of Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation on Wednesday, said that acts of administrative and financial indiscipline had been found on the part of Roy from the records. Necessary disciplinary action may be taken against him.
It said there was justified and reasonable apprehension that Roy may indulge in propagation of indiscipline and mischief till July 31, 2015, before Banerjee takes charge on August one, the order said.
Roy would stand divested of all administrative and financial powers and Banerjee would discharge the duties of the director from June 10, the order said. — PTI
