Jammu: The government has rescinded many transfers ordered by Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, Jammu for being premature.
According to an order issued by Dr. Abdul Rashid (KAS) Commissioner Secretary to the Government Department of Food, Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, the orders issued by the Director were found premature and in violation of the transfer policy.
“This department received a number of complaints regarding premature transfers and postings of the officials affected by the Director, FCS&CA, Jammu, which is not only against the Transfer policy notified by the Government but also against the instructions issued by the Government in this behalf from time to time,” he said, adding, “Amongst the pre-mature transferees a Class-IV employee of the Department has also been assigned the charge of Store Keeper, which tantamounts to violation of various provisions of the financial code regarding entrustment of cash/stock to Govt. servants.”
Despite there being a transfer policy in place and instructions issued in this regard to the Director FCS&CA Jammu, not to affect any premature transfer, he has chosen to defy the transfer policy as well as the instructions issued and has affected premature transfers, the commissioner secretary said.
He said orders issued by the director have been accordingly rescinded and include orders issued vide No-01-DFCS&CAJ of 2019 dated 01-01-2019, 03-DFCS&CAJ of 2019 dated 02-01-2019, 309-DFCS&CAJ of 2018 dated 21-12-2018, 315-DFCS&CAJ of 2018 dated 26-12-2018, No -307-DFCS&CAJ of 2018 dated 20-12-2018 and 07-DFCS&CAJ of 2019 dated 04-01-2019.
