State officers protest CEO ‘slur’

Kolkata: The WBCS Executive Officers Association (WBCSEOA) on Monday said that blaming EROs/AEROs, who were working day and night, was not only demeaning but also adversely affected their morale. Protesting a post by the Bengal CEO on X, the association said, "With response to the communication on social media by @CEOWestBengal dt March 2, it is noted with grave concern that the names marked as ‘under adjudication' have been attributed to the EROs/AEROs. This is completely untrue and emphatically denied."In a post on X, the Bengal CEO on Sunday said all cases under consideration by judicial officers were marked as "under adjudication" in the electoral roll published on Saturday. Mentioning that the judicial officers were working under the guidance of the Calcutta HC as per the order of the SC, the post stated, "certain names have been marked as ‘under adjudication' since the concerned EROs/AEROs did not decide them after hearing. As a result, those names, being pending, were sent for adjudication."
