HCS officers skipping training to face action

Chandigarh, December 3

The Haryana Civil Services (HCS) officers skipping mandatory training will face disciplinary action. “If any officer tries to influence the government by any other means or any type of communication from the dignitaries other than immediate higher authority seeking exemption from attending training, then appropriate disciplinary proceedings will be initiated against the officer concerned as per the Haryana Civil Services (Government Employees’ Conduct Rules) 2016,” an order of the Chief Secretary said. The order noted that certain officers were not undergoing training. There are also cases where the exemption for training was recommended by the authorities other than the immediate higher authority, it stated. The order said the officers seeking exemption from training should send their requests only in emergent and rare circumstances through their immediate higher authority. Otherwise it will be considered misconduct of the HCS officer concerned as per the rules, it added.— TNS
