This one had me in splits (tip Ahmed via Uber Stories). The Government in Buxar District Bihar handed out a bunch of promotions – the paradox being that dozens of these people are either dead or already retired from service.
“Yes, some dead and retired officials are in the list,” admitted Raj Kumar Jha, an official of the Buxar district administration.
According to official sources, most of those in the list of 48 promoted officials had either died or retired long back. “It was a clear case of official apathy and negligence,” Jha said.
So while current government workers are awaiting promotions to be handed out, the honor has been handed out their former colleagues, some posthumously. It Happens Only In India!
