Early Times Report
Srinagar, Sept 28: Government departments including some of the corporations are retaining officials for more than two years at one position.
As per the transfer policy, minimum tenure of a government employee on a post should be two years and a maximum three years.
Sources said that though the General Administration Department is keeping track of overstaying employees and accordingly is transferring them, but influential overstaying, officers and officials have managed to keep themselves away from the transfer.
Sources revealed that a number of clerical staff employees, have been overstaying for the last several years in government departments.
They further added that a Director or Managing Directors have an authority to transfer the employees especially when an employee completes his minimum two years of the service in one station. “But many directors came during the period of such employees but none dared to transfer them which shows how powerful they are,” sources maintained.
“A number of times the issue of overstay of some employees was brought to the knowledge of Directors, Commissioners in the past but everybody ignored the issue. Many employees in clerical staff who are posted in other districts and are waiting for their turn to be posted in summer capital have lost hope due to apathy of concerned administration,” they alleged.
