It is also repeatedly stated by Director (Admn) that Association has no power to make any correspondence with the authority regarding transfer & posting cases and he has no power to consider any of these cases and taking clue to take up these issues with the Chairman, if so. In this regard, CEC requested him to issue a letter to Association which is pending till date resulting employees are not getting their transfers on own request/public interest despite of vacancy & norms. And it is also observed that administration issuing unlawful transfer orders which creates financial hardship, harassment & mental agony. It is also seen that guidelines for economy measures is not kept in mind while issuing such orders unnecessarily causing financial loss to the Government. He also quoted some examples such as DCM/ADCM/UDC/OS & SK/Foreman cases how the administration is keeping silence and asiding without considering the staff grievances. In this regard correspondences were made and reminders also given, but no fruitful result. Therefore, it is established that employees are not getting transfers on request and at the same time the forcible transfers are taking place which is violation of Transfer Norms.
