| CM’s directives on transfers, attachments violated by Education Deptt: Harsh | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, May 3: Alleging wholesale transfers of teaching staff by the Education Department in violation of the transfer policy, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP has sought the indulgence of the Chief Minister in view of large scale resentment brewing amongst the teaching community against such whimsical transfers.
He pointed out that the department had issued a transfer policy last year prescribing the schedule for transfers in Summer and winter zones, minimum and maximum period of stay in one particular institution, norms for transfers in zone-III areas, criteria for husband wife employees' postings and norms for posting of those at the verge of retirement.
Accusing the government of blatant circumvention of the approved transfer policy, Singh said that the transfers continued to be made on whims and fancies besides other extraneous considerations in the said department.
Reminding the Chief Minister of her directions to education department appearing in the media on 24th April as well for strict adherence to transfer norms, cancellation of all attachments and modifications in the education department, Singh apprised her and about the flagrant violation of her orders.
He said that rather than rescinding the attachments and modification orders as directed by the CM, the education department officers indulged in large scale modifications, transfers and attachments during the last few days providing the most glaring example of insubordination, indiscipline and lack of respect for norms. |
