Ranchi Department Scandal: Officials Targeted, Contractors Involved

Departmental Turmoil in Ranchi

A troubling situation is unfolding within the Rural Development Department in Ranchi. Reports indicate that the crucial role of the Chief Engineer position remains vacant, while a senior official is actively attempting to discredit the department. It's notable that this official still holds positions as Executive Engineer and Superintending Engineer despite being Chief Engineer. This hierarchy – where positions like Executive Engineer and Superintending Engineer are below the Chief Engineer – suggests a deliberate undermining of departmental structure. The department is blaming lower-level staff for project delays, potentially to deflect criticism. Social media is rife with allegations and accusations against competent engineers and officials. The underlying cause appears to be a coordinated effort by a small group of contractors aiming to remove key engineers from their positions. Specifically, a filling engineer in Bokaro, who positions himself as the Chief Engineer's close associate, is wielding considerable influence.
