MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya wrote to the ULB department, requesting them to withhold any promotion considerations for the executive engineer until they receive a satisfactory performance report from the commissioner. “It is brought to your notice that the commissioner & secretary, urban local bodies, Haryana, has issued instructions to the undersigned regarding the execution of necessary/emergency work at the Bandhwari Plant in the public interest. However, despite clear directions, no progress was made on the ground till July 13, 2025,” read the notice sent to the executive engineer on Wednesday. “This demonstrates a serious lapse and disregard in complying with the directions issued by senior officers and amounts to dereliction of duty. Such conduct not only undermines administrative efficiency but also affects works of significant public interest,” it said.The engineer has been asked to provide a written clarification within three days of receiving the notice. He has been asked to address why disciplinary proceedings should not be taken against them for disregarding official instructions and not implementing essential emergency tasks. The commissioner has stated that if an adequate response is not submitted within the specified timeframe, a recommendation for disciplinary measures will be forwarded to the appropriate authority without any additional notification. In June, the commissioner terminated the services of around 20 experts and consultants. The commissioner decided not to extend the services of these experts, who were appointed on a temporary basis in different branches.
