JAMMU, Mar 9: With massive whimsical and motivated transfers being effected on day to day basis in various Government departments especially on the eve of elections, the transfers industry has flourished under Governor’s rule in the state.
It was stated by NPP chairman and former Minister Hash Dev Singh. He alleged that throwing all norms to the winds, the transfers were being made by reckless bureaucrats and other officers on extraneous considerations with hardly any regard for individuals suitability and efficiency for the prescribed job.
While candidates having stay of barely few months were being transferred, those having stay of four to five years and even more at plum positions were allowed to continue at such prized postings due to bureaucratic clout and proximity to corridors of power. Likewise, several transfers and retentions were being ordered keeping the political interests of a particular party in mind, alleged Mr Singh.
Accusing the helmsman of issuing wholesale motivated transfer orders particularly in the Deptts of R&B, PHE, PDD, Education, Forest, Police, Revenue etc on regular basis, Singh said that such nasty transfer orders had taken heavy toll of general governance in the State. He said that even a cursory look at the transfer orders issued by aforesaid departments amply revealed the highly capricious and irrational nature of transfers and exploded the myth of good governance in the State. He said it was a kind of free for all where the unscrupulous elements in the administration were making full use of their unbridled powers.
