The Goa Government has sought an explanation from Sanjit Rodrigues the
Managing Director of the Goa State Infrastructure Development Corporation
(GSIDC) who is also the Commissioner of the Corporation of City of Panaji
(CCP) over his three week absence from work last month.
In a letter to Sanjit Rodrigues, the Under Secretary Personnel has sought
Sanjit Rodrigues’s comments on the complaint filed against him last month.
In a complaint to the Chief Secretary last month it was pointed out that
Sanjit Rodrigues was untraceable and that nobody at either the CCP or GSIDC
knew about Sanjit Rodrigues’s whereabouts. Sanjit Rodrigues who had been
last seen at CCP on 4th September returned back only on September 28th
after a three week long absence.
As Sanjit Rodrigues has been frequently travelling abroad, his passport
needs to be scrutinized and also ascertained whether he was obtaining
necessary clearance from the Vigilance department to leave the country.
Action must be taken against Sanjit Rodrigues for his high-handed behavior
and unauthorized absence from work. The conduct of Sanjit Rodrigues is
contrary to the service rules and the laid down protocol for government
officers.
Sanjit Rodrigues has been habitually disappearing without even informing
his immediate subordinate officers. This conduct is also contrary to the
government’s much publicized mantra of Good Governance and Transparency in
Administration.
In September last year Sanjit Rodrigues had similarly left Goa without
informing and was later found trapped in the Kashmir floods.
For Panaji to even dream of being a Smart city, the Corporation of City of
Panaji would first need to have in place a full-time Commissioner who is
honest and very transparent.
