After the transfer of Food Safety Officers, they are reluctant to come back to their respective stations, the mediation by an officer sitting on the border, the suspicion of large-scale smuggling

(Amrik Singh):- The Punjab government’s claims of eradicating corruption were exposed when food safety officers were transferred in the Food and Drugs Administration in August 2024, some food safety officers were transferred far away from the district. Due to which they were deeply disturbed, but they were ready to find a solution. Now, according to the information received from reliable sources, a food safety officer of the border area took a bribe of lakhs of rupees and delivered it to the high officials in Chandigarh and again, the revenge exercise has started. It has been learned that the food safety officer who will increase the bag of bribe will be given to the district of his choice. The surprising thing is that if the government has made changes, then the changes that will be made with the help of this food safety officer, will they present proof of honesty? Or else there is a conspiracy to defame the Punjab government that the Bhagwant Maan government should be defamed in some way. It is also learned from reliable sources that the file of the said transfer has reached the Principal Secretary, Health Department, Punjab, and there is padding for his signature. It has also been learned from the sources that there were many complaints of these food safety officers in which MLAs also complained of taking bribe (monthly) of food safety officers. But as the said food safety officers claim to be connected with party leaders in Delhi, they again want to take the station of their own free will through the thief hole and offering heavy bags. These love less duty and love life of ease more. Their results may come out soon. Now it is to be seen whether the Hon’ble Chief Minister Mr. Bhagwant Singh Government changes the Food Safety Officers in the Food and Drugs Administration again or stands on the first orders. The Chief Minister should call for the transfer date file which is lying with the Principal Secretary Health Department. If there are changes, then directly those officers will be happy who will come through the thief hole. Then what will happen to the image of the government. Therefore, the Chief Minister has to immediately pay attention to this aspect.
