NEW DELHI, May 15: The Central Government has officially removed senior IAS officer Padma Jaiswal from service over allegations of financial irregularities dating back nearly two decades during her tenure in Arunachal Pradesh.
The case, which has taken more than 16 years to reach this stage, is being viewed as one of the rare instances where such a severe disciplinary action has been executed against a serving IAS officer.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs, as the cadre-controlling authority for AGMUT officers, recommended her removal following a long disciplinary inquiry in a case of misappropriation of public funds during her tenure as the Deputy Commissioner of West Kameng , during 2007-2008.
