Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 19: With failure of State Government to frame a definite transfer policy or implement the existing one, hundreds of its employees having no political influence are working in far flung areas for years tighter and no body in administration is ready to hear their woes.
Notwithstanding the claims of the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah to give a clean and transparent Government in the state ever since he assumed office in 2008, the situation has not improved for the common man as there has been no effect of his instructions and statements on the bureaucratic level so for.
According to sources hundreds of the employees working in far flung areas having no influence in political and bureaucratic circles are running from pillar to post for their transfers to their home localities despite serving in far flung areas more than their due term. Some of the employees are working at far off places for over a decade and have not been transferred till date by the respective heads of departments, sources added.
Sources said even some of the employees who served in far flung areas for 13 to 14 years even attained their retirement at that very place as their dream to serve in their home localities or districts
Was not fulfilled despite making umpteen representations to the concerned officers, heads of the respective departments and ministers but no one in the administration heard their woes. This all is due to the non formation of a proper transfer policy by the Government, sources added.
Sources said that despite the issue being raised in the State legislature every time by the members especially during the annual grants of the ministries the Government tilln date has failed to pay attention to implementation of the transfer policy. The existing policy is only implemented in case of those employees who don't have the proper influence in the corridors of Civil Secretariat and they are made a scapegoat ,the sources added.
This trend continued in the state from a pretty long time and successive Governments despite making tall claims of taking strict action against those HODs who fail to implement a transfer policy in letter and spirit, have failed to translate their words in the deeds, hence the present Government run by Omar Abdullah is no exception, sources said adding this time again during the discussion of grants on various ministries in the State Assembly, the MLAs cutting across their party lines have expressed serious concern over the non implementation of transfer policy in various Government departments that has affected their proper functioning.
The Education and Health and Agriculture department are the worst where this mess prevails, the sources said adding in the Health Department some doctors who have been never allowed to work near the district and headquarters but were often posted in far flung areas are facing such a harassment through the hands of the heads of departments that they preferred to remain absconding and face the disciplinary action instead of being humiliated by the heads of departments after transferring them from one remote area of the state to another and never allowing them a chance in serving in the capital cities or big townships of the state.
Even the file of these doctors who insead of joining their new places of posting in remote areas despite serving for a decade in far-flung areas is pending in Civil Secretarit for over a year but the authroties jhave failed to take action or dispose of the cases, sources said, adding height of the things is that the doctors who were even exhonorated by the Departmental Committee to probe their cases have also been made to suffer.
Same is the case in agriculture and nEduction Department where the people continue to work in remote areas for decdes tighter and no one bothers to psot them in their home localities, sources said.
