Kohima: Nagaland is hunting down government employees gaming the system. The Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department issued a directive on September 3, 2026, targeting workers caught pulling multiple salaries or collecting both a paycheck and a life pension from state coffers. A Special Investigation Team now holds the reins of this probe.
All state departments must open their books. The order demands they treat every request from the investigators as a top priority. Officials expect accurate, complete, and fast delivery of sensitive files.
Drawing and Disbursing Officers and establishment chiefs are on point. These staff members must coordinate directly with the team to authenticate and ship records. They need to keep everything under wraps during the process. The state warned that foot-dragging or sloppy paperwork will bring consequences. Heads of Departments are under orders to "personally ensure strict compliance" with the new rules.
