Allahabad, Feb 26, 2012 (PTI): An explosive situation has arisen at the office of the Accountant General of Uttar Pradesh here following the suspension of 11 employees on grounds of indiscipline and lodging of FIRs against 100 unnamed persons who had taken part in an agitation inside the office premises two days ago.
Trouble had begun on Friday morning when Deputy Accountant General (Administration) Sachin Kapoor, in a bid to fix the late-comers, got the gates of the premises locked and asked those who had reported for duty in time to sign the attendance register, police said.
The measure led to an outcry from members of the employees’ union who termed the move as “arbitrary” and alleged that while they were being asked to report for duty on time, they were often asked to work beyond office hours without being given any compensation.
The ruckus had continued well beyond the office hours with some of the agitators holding an Accountant General P K Tiwari hostage inside his chamber and vandalizing the furniture in the premises, police added.
The agitators were dispersed upon heavy deployment of police around the premises late Friday night. Yesterday, taking a strong note of the incident, Dy AG Kapoor ordered the suspension of 11 agitating employees and ordered an inquiry against them.
A police complaint was also lodged following which an FIR was registered against 100 unnamed persons. Police were trying to identify those involved in vandalism and holding of one of the AGs hostage with the help of video footage obtained from CCTV cameras installed in the office and further action was likely to follow. Meanwhile, the employees’ union has planned to intensify its agitation when the office reopens after the weekend on Monday even as heavy police deployment remains in place to avert any trouble.
