In a letter sent to former CBI director Alok Verma on Wednesday, the MHA said: “You are directed to join the post of DG, Fire Services, Civil Defence & Home Guards immediately”. This has come two weeks after Verma told the Department of Personnel and Training to consider him retired.

 

Why does the Home Ministry want him to join the new office for a day he was moved against his wishes? Possibly to ensure that he retires honourably.


Earlier, in his letter to the DoPT, Verma had argued that since he had attained the age of superannuation from government service on July 31, 2017, and crossed the superannuation age for DG Fire Services, Civil Defence & Home Guards, he wanted to be superannuated from the day he was moved out of CBI.

 

But this was not acceptable to the government in view of a lot of legal and administrative complication.
