JAMMU, Oct 14: The Jammu and Kashmir Electrical Engineering Graduates Association (JKEEGA) today expressed serious concern over the flouting of transfer policy in JPDCL and sought transparency in the system.
In a meeting of the Association held today under the chairmanship of Sachin Tickoo, general secretary along with Ashok Kumar Dubey, Provincial secretary, Rajeshwar Jamwal and others, the members expressed strong resentment over the flouting of the transfer policy in the transfer orders issued by MD, JPDCL vide Order No 61-MD/JPDCL of 2020 dated 06-10-2020, 62-MD/JPDCL of 2020 dated 09-10-2020.
The members decried the way the transfer orders are being issued in piece meals and a substantial shuffling should be done. Currently, it has been witnessed that engineers are being attached in Corporate office before being deployed on the next posting even though various posts of Assistant Executive Engineers are vacant at the time of the issuance of such transfer orders. Moreover, it has also been witnessed that no replacement is being posted against the transferee for quite some time and it handicaps the efficiency of the Division.
While effecting transfers a roaster needs to be put to practice so that those posted outside their hometown continuously for more than two years should be given first priority while effecting transfer. There are examples that can be traced through posting details available with JPDCL that people who are outside continue to remain outside their hometown without a chance to serve in hometown and the transfer policy is being flouted brazenly right from the corporate office.
It is pertinent to mention here that important points related to work scenario of the field staff had been projected for immediate redressal which were pre-requisite for bringing in turnaround of JPDCL. However, despite lapse of one month during this comparatively lean period for Jammu Province, none of the points raised have been addressed.
JKEEGA has appealed the Principal Secretary PDD to kindly intervene and order an enquiry into the transfer orders issued from office of Managing Director JPDCL and such orders which are flouting the transfer policy should be rescinded to restore confidence among the Power employees and engineers.
