Tamil
Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) has framed charges against 16 of its employees after
conducting an enquiry into the blast at TNHB’s Single Person Rental Quarters at
New Avadi Road on April 27 this year.
TNHB
sources told Express that the decision to initiate action against the employees
came after chief revenue officer of Tamil Nadu Housing Board submitted a
detailed report following a bomb explosion in flat number 10 of the building.
Charges were framed under section 37 (b) of TNHB Service Regulation 1969.
The
action was initiated after the enquiry found out that power connections in the
flat were given in the name of private individuals instead of TNHB and the 16
officials failed to check and rectify the illegal service connections to the
flat. TNHB has already suspended a junior engineer of Anna Nagar division after
the incident.
Sources
said the building had nine shops in ground floor and 10 single quarters in
first floor. Only four flats (four, six, seven and eight) were occupied while
the remaining six were not allotted to anyone and kept locked.
Flat
number 10 was occupied by unauthorized persons and had all facilities with
television and other amenities like false roof for comfortable living.
Sources
said disciplinary action would also be initiated against 24 officials who have
retired within four years from the incident as per the pension rules.
