Vineeth will be given appropriate job: Kerala Sports Minister

: India footballer C K Vineeth, who lost his central government job, due to lack of attendance, will be given an appropriate posting, Kerala Sports Minister A C Moideen today said.

Vineeth, who services from the Accountant General's Office here were terminated owing to lack of attendance, met the minister personally and sought employment.

The player later told a television channel that he was awaiting the government's decision.

In the order issued by the AG's Office it has been stated that Vineeth's services had been terminated with effect from May 7, 2016 under Rule 5 of central civil services (temporary service) rules, and consolidated instructions on probation/confirmation in central services.

Moideen and Leader of Opposition in the state assembly Ramesh Chennithala had written to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India to reconsider the decision to terminate his service, but to no avail.
