| Favvouritism, nepotism rules transfers in admn: Harsh | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu Jan 8
Harsh Dev Singh NPP MLA and Chief Spokesperson has castigated the ‘Transfer Raj’ of the coalition regime and expressed grave concern over the nasty growth of transfer industry in the state in violation of all norms and guidelines issued on the subject from time to time.
In a press statement Harsh said that transfer of government functionaries are supposed to be made in the interest of administration so that delivery of public services is made more efficacious and efficient. Singh regretted that the mechanism of transfer in J&K is plagued with the menace of favoritism, nepotism and other extraneous considerations with no regard to the individual’s suitability and efficiency for the prescribed job. He regretted that what matters most in transfer is the political or bureaucratic clout and proximity to corridors of power thereby jeopardizing the very concept of transparency and accountability. He said the resolutions passed included elimination of transfer industry and politicized transfers, ban on general transfers, minimum stay of three years; aptitude and experience of officers for a post; fair and objective criteria, non provision of cadre posts to non-cadre persons, decentralization of transfer powers at various levels and non interference of the government in the transfer of officers at the level of Class-II and below which should be entrusted to HODs.
Harsh Dev Singh said that anomalies and discrepancies were galore in the government functioning not only in the matter of transfers but promotions as well. He said that there were cases in abundance, numbering in thousands where favourite officials were made to climb the ladder through back door and made to reach the top without legal sanction.
Sounding a note of caution, Harsh Dev Singh urged upon the Chief Minister to keep a vigil on his subordinates and check the menace of unscrupulous and whimsical transfers so as to save the fast eroding credibility of his government.
