In the letter the HYC stated that as per our knowledge and information, Shri Puranjan Das, Chief General Manager, Head Office, MTDC, on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.03.2023, is supposed to retired from service on the said date.
That, however, it is learnt that the Corporation on 31.03.2023 re-appointed him as the Chief General Manager on contract basis with effect from 01.04.2023 to 30.09.2023 on a monthly pay of Rs. 1,57,968/- lakh with an option that his contract maybe renewed again after the said period of Six months by the Corporation.
That, the HYC strongly object to this act of re-appointment of the above-named retired person by the MTDC and more so paying him the same amount of Salary as paid during his service.
Secondly, this practice of appointment of retired employees will create of situation of non-availability of employment opportunities for other deserving candidates and youths of our State.
That, we are also putting our strongest objection to this practice as this will deprives our deserving educated youths with an opportunity to get employment in such a Government Undertaking entity in the State.
That, we demand from your good office to kindly take steps to termi nate the Contract of Shri Puranjan Das, Chief General Manager, MTDC, forthwith and failing which we will be forced to organise a Protest against the Corporation as this involves deprivation of job opportunities to our local educated and deserving youths.
