LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government has dismissed four Social Welfare Department officers and ordered pension cuts for three retired officials after corruption charges against them were proven in separate cases dating back more than a decade, officials said.

Directions have also been issued for the registration of FIRs against the accused officials and recovering the embezzled government funds from them, a statement issued here on Sunday said.

According to the Social Welfare Department, the action was taken under the zero-tolerance policy of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's government, following a probe conducted under the supervision of Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Social Welfare Asim Arun. PTI
