Organisation Seeks Return of Hathras Collectorate Employee Sunil Kumar

Office-bearers of an organisation have submitted a memorandum to the District Magistrate, demanding that municipal employee Sunil Kumar, currently posted at the Hathras Collectorate, be sent back immediately to his parent department, Hathras Municipal Council.

Sunil Kumar is an employee of the Municipal Council and is currently posted at the Hathras Collectorate. The organisation’s office-bearers raised objections to his continued posting there and sought action from the District Magistrate.

According to the memorandum, Sunil Kumar has been attached to the Collectorate since 2009. It said that he has been working at the LBC desk for around five years.

The office-bearers alleged that because of his long posting at the same place, complaints related to corruption and assets disproportionate to income had been made against him. However, these allegations have not been independently verified.

The memorandum also referred to government orders and stated that employees of other departments should be kept attached only for a limited period during elections and other special circumstances.

Despite this, the memorandum alleged, Sunil Kumar has not been sent back to his parent department, Hathras Municipal Council, since 2009. The office-bearers said that his continued posting at the Collectorate was contrary to the position outlined in the government orders.

They requested the District Magistrate to order an inquiry into the matter. They also demanded that Sunil Kumar be immediately relieved from the Collectorate and sent back to his parent department.

Those who submitted the memorandum included District President Shri Ram Gupta, Advocate; District Treasurer Shiv Kumar Pathak; District In-charge Ramkumar ‘Jiddi Bhaiya’; District Organisation Minister Amit Kumar Agnihotri; Media In-charge Mukesh Kumar Verma; and senior member Naresh Kumar Maurya. Other office-bearers and members were also present.
