<B>Government fires own nominee</B>
A trial of strength between the government and the chairman of State Informatics Limited (SIL), Sanjit Teelock, finally got the better of the latter. Even though the official reason for his dismissal is said to be his decision to go on mission to Dubai without the approval of the government, internal sources in the company believe this is not the real reason. Sanjit Teelock himself declared: “In my opinion, my dismissal is due to my refusal to consider the dismissal of Kushan Naik as managing director who has done a great job on and off with SIL during the last thirteen years.” The government has been trying to force the managing director to step down for some time but it never managed to get Sanjit Teelock to do the dirty work. This mission in Dubai might have come just in time.
