BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government on Tuesday terminated the services of probationary Odisha Revenue Service (ORS) officer Manisha Mishra, days after her arrest by the Odisha Vigilance directorate for allegedly accepting bribe of Rs 7,000.According to an order issued by the revenue and disaster management department, Mishra, a 2022-batch ORS officer serving as sub-registrar at Baliapal in Balasore district, was caught by vigilance officials on November 6 while allegedly receiving the bribe from a complainant.The money was allegedly demanded to facilitate the registration of land and issuance of a sale deed.“Our govt continues to adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption,” revenue minister Suresh Pujari said.Additional chief secretary of the revenue department Arabinda Kumar Padhee said Mishra, who joined govt service as a trainee reserve officer in December 2024 and was appointed sub-registrar at Baliapal in December 2025, had not completed her two-year probation period.In the termination order, the department held that her alleged actions amounted to “gross misconduct”, “personal immorality”, and a direct violation of the Odisha Government Servants’ Conduct Rules, 1959.Citing the seriousness of the allegations and their impact on public confidence, the appointing authority concluded that her continuation in service would be “highly detrimental to public interest”.
