Centre begins 'major penalty proceedings' against Alapan Bandyopadhyay, may deny him retirement perks

The Centre has initiated "major penalty proceedings" against former West Bengal Chief Secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay, amid a tug-of-war between the Union government and the Mamata Banerjee dispensation over him, which may deprive him of post-retirement benefits, partially or fully. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has sent Bandyopadhyay, now an advisor to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, a "memorandum" mentioning the charges and giving him 30 days to reply, officials said Monday.
