Early Times Report
srinagar, Oct 18: The State Administrative Council is likely to meet next week here in Srinagar to take a final call on several issues besides the transfer of some heads of departments in the civil administration
Early Times has learnt that many important policy decisions are likely to be taken at the meeting before the shifting of the Durbar offices from Srinagar to Jammu for the next six months.
"The meeting is to take several decisions with regard to streamlining of the functioning of civil administration, which may entail several transfers and postings," sources said.
They said that authorities have been directed to promptly submit proposals before the SAC meeting about pending administrative issues of their respective departments with the prior approval of the Advisor Incharge.
The Governor is the chairman of the Administrative Council while his Advisors are its members.
Sources said that though before the start of Urban Local body elections in the state, the SAC headed by Governor Satya Pal Malik had ordered a major reshuffle in the civil and police administration, there were complaints that several officials do not serve the general public properly.
Sources said that there were also complaints that there are some 'blue-eyed' officers are working in the same department from so many years. "The Governor has directed the authorities to provide the service records of these officials," sources said, adding that during the meeting these officials are also likely to be transferred.
Sources said that the SAC would also discuss the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Using their bureaucratic influence, it has been observed that several government officers have crossed the maximum staying period and because of help from "influential persons" nobody was daring to transfer them.
Sources said though the government several times had ordered a massive reshuffle in the administration, most of the overstaying, officers/officials managed to keep themselves away from the transfer. These overstaying officers/officials have created a "culture of corruption" in the departments.
As per the transfer policy, minimum tenure of a government employee on a post should be two years and a maximum of three years. |
