The report of the blood sample of a high-ranking officer of the Goa Administration which had been sent for analysis yesterday has confirmed presence of alcohol. The Chief Inspector of Factories and Boilers Mr. Suhas Redkar was yesterday picked up from his office by Vigilance sleuths and taken for a blood test to ascertain the complaint against him of being under the influence of alcohol while on duty. The officer is also a member of the Goa State Pollution Board and other high-powered government committees. A vigilance department team headed by Police Inspector Rajendra Prabhudesai landed at the Inspectorate of Factories and Boilers and took Mr. Redkar to the Goa Medical College for a blood test to ascertain the alcohol intake. I have been visiting the directorate of Factories & Boilers to pursue a complaint filed by a workman under the Factories Act. Mr. Suhas Redkar, who is the head of the department seemed to be regularly coming to the office under the influence of alcohol a fact that all the fifty odd staff of the department are fully aware of. Yesterday I brought this to the attention of Chief Secretary Mr. J.P.Singh and Vigilance Secretary Mr. Diwan Chand following which the vigilance officers swung into action. Goa Public Service Commission had recently recommended that Mr. Suhas Redkar who is currently officiating for he last one year be confirmed to the post of Chief Inspector of Factories and Boilers but the concerned Minister Mr. Luizinho Faleiro has kept the file in abeyance apparently for not being happy with Mr. Suhas Redkars conduct. Now the officer may be in for the much deserved disciplinary action. Aires Rodrigues Ribandar ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo!
