Respected
Madam,
Sub: Adhoc postings/transfer of ASPs – reg:
This is to bring to your kind notice certain
issues with respect to the recent adhoc postings/ transfer orders issued by the
CO in the ASP cadre. While admitting that transfer is an incidence of service,
it is to be pointed out that the principle of seniority has not been followed
in some cases. To cite an instance, Sri. Jayakumar, who is the senior most in
the list, has been given allotment to NR, while vacancies existed in CR and his
juniors have been retained in their home regions. Another example is Sri.
M.Sunil, who has been allotted to NR and posted in Kasaragode Division. This is
while his juniors have been given convenient postings in their home regions.
Another
issue which is to be flagged is that although there is no embargo for declining
adhoc promotions, Sri. Sunil, after declining his allotment to NR, has not been
considered for the subsequent vacancy which had arisen in SR and his juniors
have been given adhoc promotion. These instances have caused much hardship to
the said members and demoralized them to a great extent.
Kind
attention is also invited to the issue of re-allotment of IPs working in CR and
NR to Southern Region. They are working in NR and SR for more than two years
now and they are facing much difficulties being far away from their home.
Consequent upon the adhoc promotions, IP vacancies are now available in SR
against which these officers can be considered.
Hence, the Association appeals to your kind
self to kindly examine the above mentioned issues and to take a favourable
decision in the matter. A line in reply is solicited.
Thanking You,
Yours faithfully
Ajith Kurian
Circle Secretary
