JKEEGA demands transparent transfer policy

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Sept 6: In a meeting here today J&K Electrical Engineering Graduates Association (JKEEGA) expressed concern over the alleged lack of transparency in transfers within the Corporations and demanded a transparent transfer policy in newly carved Corporations.
The meeting was chaired by Sachin Tickoo, Association General Secretary.
Speakers in the meeting quoted certain Clauses to claim that within one year of the appointed date, the Department shall notify a Rotational/Transfer Policy for deputation of employees.
They said despite lapse of considerable time, till date no such policy has been notified which is a matter of concern.
They demanded a foolproof transparent transfer policy be notified to address the issue and said that every organization should have a fair and impartial transfer policy which should be known to each employee.
Association members claimed that since Transmission and Distribution Corporations have come into existence it has been noticed that transfer orders are being issued in piece meals and no proper rotation of employees is happening from rural to urban areas and vice versa in absence of a defined policy within the Corporations. “Moreover the maximum tenure of deputation of PDD employees in one Corporation should not exceed 4 years,” they said.
The Association members also demanded that vacant posts should be filled at an earliest on stop gap arrangement till regularization process gets completed as employees are awaiting promotions on their current positions since years even though clear cut vacancies are available in the existing sanctioned strength of Corporations.
JKEEGA urged upon the Principal Secretary PDD to notify a transparent, fair and consistent transfer policy along with speedy promotions against the vacant posts at all levels in order to infuse a renewed zeal among the employees.
The meeting was attended by Ashok Dubey JKEEGA Vice President, M.P Singh, Provincial Secretary, Rajeshwar Jamwal, Provincial Publicity Secretary, Yash Paul, Organising Secretary, Parshottam Kumar, Cashier and Vipul Sharma.
