Kolkata: West Bengal's government has not released Chief Secretary Alpan Bandyopadhyay for not following the central government's order. Bandyopadhyay was ordered to appear before the Union Ministry of Personnel at 10 am on Monday. The Ministry had ordered the Bengal Government to release him immediately. It remains to be seen how far this issue of confrontation between the Centre and the Mamata government goes.
The Central Government has started exploring the possibility of action against Bandyopadhyay on charges of indiscipline. He has not complied with the Centre's order, so they are sure to be dealt with. Let us tell you that Bandyopadhyay, the Chief Secretary of Bengal, is the favourite IAS officer of CM Mamata Banerjee. He did not attend Delhi on Monday but attended a meeting at the Bengal Secretariat. It is natural for the Centre to be offended by this. It is believed that notice will be issued to him first.
The Central Government has recently extended the service of Bandyopadhyay by three months at the request of the Mamata government due to the corona epidemic. By the way, he was scheduled to retire on May 31. Since the Centre has given them service extension, it can also cancel it. Experts say that since Bandyopadhyay is posted under the state government, the Centre had to seek the permission of the state government before deputation, the Centre will also have to seek this permission for any further action.
