Transfer of employees

Apropos “Transfer of Overstaying Employees” published in DE. The actions taken by the administration to address the issue of prolonged stays of employees in Jammu and Kashmir are commendable and mark a positive step towards efficient governance.
The introduction of online portals to streamline departmental operations is a noteworthy achievement. It not only enhances transparency but also helps in identifying ghost employees or individuals who may be overstaying in their positions. Such technological advancements are crucial in today’s age and can significantly contribute to eradicating corrupt practices.
It is indeed concerning that some employees have held their positions for over a decade, contrary to transfer policies. This not only affects the opportunities for others but can also lead to the stagnation of fresh ideas and perspectives within the workforce. By issuing relevant transfer orders, the Chief Secretary is taking a necessary step to ensure that the system remains dynamic and responsive to the changing needs of the region.
The mention of a high population-to-employee ratio highlights the need for equitable distribution of opportunities and resources. It is vital that all employees have a fair chance to contribute to the development of Jammu and Kashmir without any undue advantage given to a select few.
In conclusion, the administration’s actions to address this issue are laudable, and it reflects their commitment to fostering transparency, efficiency, and fairness within the workforce. We should support such efforts that aim to create a better working environment and contribute to the growth of our region.
