In a decisive move to ensure administrative accountability, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has suspended two Regional Officers of the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB). The action was taken during a high-level review meeting regarding development projects in Gurugram on Friday, following continuous complaints from Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs).
Officials Suspended Amid Public Complaints
The suspension orders target two key officials responsible for environmental oversight in the Gurugram region. The officers identified are:

According to the official order issued by the HSPCB, the suspended officers will be stationed at the Board's Head Office in Sector-6, Panchkula, during their suspension period. They will remain entitled to a subsistence allowance as per the established government rules.
Focus on Grassroots Accountability
Addressing the media during the review meeting, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini emphasized that the government's priority is to move beyond mere paperwork and meetings to address real-world issues.
