CS Om Prakash asks the head of departments to adhere to transfers act and limit the number of transfers at 10%
After a ‘Zero year’ for the transfers of the state government employees last year when no transfers were done due to the pandemic of the Covid-19, the Uttarakhand government has decided to go ahead with the process of transfers this year.
Chief Secretary Om Prakash has directed the department heads to start the process of annual transfers for the year 2021-22. In an order to all additional chief secretaries, Principal Secretaries, secretaries, commissioners (Garhwal and Kumaon), all head of departments and district magistrates, the CS said that on Friday they should start the process of transfers but the number of transfers should not exceed 10 percent of the employee strength.
The CS said that the provisions of the Annual Transfer Act-2017 should be followed in the transfers. The order of CS clearly mentions that in case of any problem, the issue should be brought up before the high level committee under section 27 of the act. This committee is headed by the CS.
