| 'Reshuffle' likely in cabinet meet today | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 11: Ahead of cabinet sub committee's report on new transfer policy, the coalition government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah will go in for reshuffle at top and middle rung officers both in state's administration as well in police department. The reshuffle will be effected in the cabinet meeting convened tomorrow at Srinagar.
According to sources, the cabinet meeting to be held under the chairmanship of Omar Abdullah will approve transfers and postings of some officials, an agenda which was in fact left untouched on the previous meeting held here two days before winding up of Darbar offices. The reshuffle, if everything goes on smoothly will be effected at the level of some Commissioner\Secretary bureaucrats as also at some middle rung officials in the administration.
This has been necessitated also in the wake of the fact that some key departments like Tourism, Revenue and Industries are still functioning without independent Commissioner/ Secretaries. The charges of these posts have either been given as additional responsibilities to other officers of similar ranks or lying vacant. Some transfers are also likely in the Police Department in which some officers at the level Districts can be reshuffled and posted at other places, sources added. The transfers of officers have also become inevitable due to the fact that government has not been able to effect reshuffle at certain levels, for a long time, which is otherwise a practice after some regular intervals.
Tomorrow's reshuffle, which is on agenda, which if allowed to be taken up by all the members of the cabinet assumes significance in the backdrop of some differences which had emerged on the very issue of confining the powers of making transfers at top levels with the Chief Minister, as has been envisaged in the new transfer policy.
The cabinet meeting will also take up the routine agenda of transfer of some land for certain projects and approval of some degree colleges in some areas.
