Dismissed Engineer Of Water Resources Dept Accuses DMK Govt Of Unjustly Ousting Him From Service, Lambasts TN Media For Ignoring Such Issues

The illegal sand mining case has been making the news in Tamil Nadu for the past few days. The ED alleged that illegal sand mining worth ₹4730 crores has taken place in Tamil Nadu and the government was shielding the wrongdoers. 

Amidst this, an executive engineer in the Water Resources Department, R Devarajan, who was under suspension was dismissed from his post on 28 November 2023. The dismissal order states the reason that he, “used social media to address his grievances rather than exploring platforms including judicial forum available to him as a Government servant and his political involvement had been confirmed through his speeches in which he had admitted to the formation of his own political party in the name of “New Generation Party” (Puthiya Thalaimurai Katchi).” (images of the dismissal order attached at end of article)

He released a YouTube video on this matter. Here is a transcript of the video:

“Vanakkam I am Swamy Devarajan. On this day, 28 November 2023, I have received a dismissal order. I was outside, in Korattur and 3 people came from my office – Somasundaram, a research assistant from the Irrigation Management Training Institute Trichy, and two others, an engineer and one from the admin department. They came from Trichy in a taxi as if a staff had died or if someone retired, they came with the dismissal order. Since I was not there, they gave it to my wife and took her signature.”

He adds, “A few days ago, Engineering Chief WRO Muthaiya’s name was mentioned in the illegal sand mining case. He has signed this document – ironically he is much much junior to me. TNPSC has approved this order. I was the first ranker in my batch TNPSC. Muthaiya ranked 400 slots below me, became the Engg chief, and is involved in a case where there is a loss of more than ₹4700 crores along with Duraimurgan and Sandeep Saxena who has also signed the GO for my dismissal. These people are involved in the ₹4700 crore scam case filed by ED. Sandeep Saxena warned them and asked them to hide, that fellow has signed the GO. Muthaiya had been hiding for the past 1 month and only now he came out and gave his statements based on which the ED has filed the case in court. Mostly the judges would pass the judgement that ED has no right to conduct the investigation and that the issue comes under the purview of the state government. Now who is the state government? Stalin, the thieving Duraimurugan, his ministry, and the IAS officers working under him, people like Sandeep Saxena, SK Prabhakaran, and Manivasagan. These people have come together to dismiss me so you should know who I am.”

He further said, “By dismissing an efficient officer like me, they have rendered me grave injustice. Everyone working in the Public Works Department and other departments knows about me and who I am. Even the judges support the government. I was suspended all these days – an executive engineer under suspension, and now I have been dismissed. I should have been in Muthaiya’s post in 2018 itself. But they promoted my juniors, even the then CM Edappadi Palanisami, and other PWD officers. SK Prabhakaran said I was not going to be promoted then. Now Manivasagan, Secretary PWD and Duraimurugan PWD minister, and MK Stalin became CM, they suspended me in 2021. He took oath on 7 May 2023 and I was suspended on 24 May that year. Now 28 November 2023, they dismissed me from my job. This is the standard of the Tamil Nadu government. Muthaiya who hides his face from the cameras is signing this document and sending it to me! He was hiding from the ED for the past 1 month. He is the Engineering chief, which should have been my position. I could have earned 3 lakhs in salary in a month and now I have nothing. Whereas this fellow has aided and abetted in the 4500 crore scam for Stalin, Duraimurugan, and Sandeep Saxena. TNPSC has approved my dismissal. If this is the case, what kind of a rule is going on now? The press does not report any of this. Because Stalin announced that if any member of the press died on duty, they would be given 10 lakh. Those filthy dogs, the press reporters, will not publish this news. I will put it on my YouTube but this will not become a piece of big news. The press is washing Stalin’s bum, thoo! Shame on Tamil Nadu press – thoo, Shame on the PWD department – thoo, Shame on the IMTI – thoo, Shame on the people of Tamil Nadu.”

Devarajan also shared the dismissal order on his YouTube video and we are reproducing screenshots of the same here.
