The CM’s order comes a day after a two-member probe panel, comprising Lucknow Police Commissioner SB Shiradkar and Commissioner (Lucknow Division) Roshan Jacob, submitted its report to the state Home Department.
Five days after a fire at a Lucknow hotel killed four persons, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday ordered the suspension of 15 officers of four different departments and action against four retired officers.
According to a government spokesperson, the officers against who action will be taken are from the departments of Home, Energy, Appointment, Housing and Urban Planning, Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) and Excise.
“The serving officers will be suspended and departments inquiry will be instituted against them. Action will be taken as per the rules against the retired officials,” the spokesperson said, adding, that these officers have been prima facie found responsible for doing anomalies and negligence.
