The list of the officers awaiting posting orders is as follows:

A section of IPS officers belonging to other states termed it not only strange and unforeseen but unfortunate as well. Many senior IPS officers opined that uniformed services are integral part of the field formation in the state and are driven by discipline, trust, mutual respect and SOPs. Police forces are rule sticklers yet a bookish approach rarely works as it does not solve complex problems. On many occasion decisions and orders are passed verbally and any sort of trust deficit is detrimental to the smooth working of forces. 

Another section of officers said that such orders are uncalled for, it hurt the self-esteem of the officers and get exposed during unfortunate incidents and big events. 

Contrary to the views and criticism Indianmandarins learnt that the state DGP was constrained to pass such orders. Reportedly, most of the officers awaiting posting orders lived in Hyderabad instead of headquarters. APO is considered 'on active duty' but virtually it turned out to be absence from PHQ that led to such a unique order. But there were other options as well and in one such option, they could have been advised to stay at IPS officers guest house in Vijaywada.
