Kanakasa PTO office staff suspended

Panakar RG Subankar Banerjee, an office worker of Kankasa BDO of West Burdwan district, who went on a campaign in Kolkata in connection with tax evasion, was arrested on charges of assaulting the police. He was released on bail. On September 3, after he returned to the Kankasa PTO office, he was served with two consecutive show-cause notices. Sankarami Joint Manch President Subhankar Banerjee was issued a suspension letter on Thursday. Subhankar alleged that he was served with a suspension letter from the department even before replying to the show-cause notice. He said it was surprising that he was suspended before he could respond to the show-cause notice. He said he received the suspension letter on Thursday when he arrived at work. Kangasa joined the BDO office and received the first show cause letter on September 3. Last date to send reply is September 5. Another show cause notice was issued on Wednesday. The last day to reply is next Monday. Meanwhile, there was a controversy when he received a suspension letter upon joining duty on Thursday. He has been suspended under the Subangar Govt. He cannot go to work until further notice. The incident created a stir in the surrounding area. Subhankar said that he will not come to work from the next day. But to his surprise. It is not clear whether it is legal to reply to the show cause notice given earlier or it is legal not to reply. There has been an uproar among other employees of the PTO office over this suspension.
