Entire staff of two key excise stations shunted out in East Godavari district
Vijayawada: Cracking the whip, the director of excise and prohibition, Nishant Kumar , decided to shift all the staffers in two key excise stations in East Godavari district after observing gross underperformance. The decision follows a review of enforcement work in the region, where Nishant found that staffers, including the station house officers (SHOs), were not showing any keenness to achieve the targets set by the government. This is the first time in the history of the Excise and Prohibition Department that the entire staff from specific stations has been transferred to other locations. According to sources, Nishant Kumar directed the Deputy Commissioner of Excise and Prohibition to transfer all the staffers, including SHOs, from Rajamahendravaram North and South stations. He stated that not even a single staff member from these stations deserved to continue. Staffers from Rajamahendravaram North and South stations were relocated to far-off locations within the district. While some were moved to other station duties, a few were reassigned to check-posts. Sources said Nishant Kumar was particularly disappointed with the poor progress in tracking old offenders, resolving pending cases related to illicit distilled (ID) liquor manufacturers, and maintaining surveillance on suspected offenders. During a surprise inspection two days ago, the staff reportedly failed to provide proper answers to his queries. The new staff brought to these stations will strengthen on-ground enforcement & achieving the objectives of Navodayam 2.0
