EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Apr 29: Cabinet today constituted a sub committee, comprising three Ministers, for drafting a new transfer policy in the state services, even as more than 700 posts were created for High and Higher Secondary Schools. State Cabinet meeting, which was presided over by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, today held a preliminary discussion over the new transfer policy to be adopted for all state services.
Informed sources revealed to Early Times that on Chief Minister's suggestion, a three-member sub committee was constituted which would examine different proposals and submit a draft transfer policy within a month. Minister of Agriculture, Ghulam Hassan Mir, Minister of Irrigation & PHE, Choudhary Taj Mohiuddin, and Minister of Rural Development and Law, Ali Mohammad Sagar, were appointed as members of the sub committee.
Sources said that the Cabinet accorded sanction to creation of over 700 posts so as to provide teaching and non-teaching staff to the lately created High and Higher Secondary Schools. Certain errors that had crept in while formulating last year's special rehabilitation package for the displaced Kashmiri migrants, particularly the nomenclature of posts and grades, were also rectified in today's meeting of the state Cabinet. As many as 3,000 specially created vacancies for rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants back into the Valley had been notified for recruitment in February this year.
Sources said that two substantive posts of DIGs, one each for Kashmir and Jammu divisions, were also created today in IPR of the state armed police. After today's creation, DIGs holding the charge would be holding the substantive posts and operating as Drawing & Disbursing Officers (DDOs). IPS officers Dinesh Rana and T Namgyal had been posted as DIGs in IRP respectively in Jammu and Kashmir divisions in July last year, in advance of the formal creation. After Namgyal proceeded to East Timoor on a UN deputation in March, DIG Armed Police, Kashmir, has been holding the additional charge of DIG IRP Kashmir.
Sources said that the Cabinet also sanctioned allotment of 80 Kanals of land on lease basis to a center of National Institute of Fashion Technology that is being established by Government of India at Ompora in Budgam district.
As exclusively reported in today's issue of Early Times, there was no agenda of reshuffle in Police or civil administration in today's meeting. Sources today said that no transfers or appointments of officers were discussed or sanctioned in the meeting.
Reports, not confirmed by authoritative sources, said that Minister of Revenue and Congress MLA from Jammu city, Raman Bhalla, expressed his displeasure over an issue of allotment of land and left the meeting in a huff. He was heard shouting that "we (Congress Ministers) are not rubber stamps".
