New Delhi (19.08.2021): The Telangana government has appointed Dalit IAS officer Rahul Bojja as a secretary in the CMO, but the state is facing shortage of IAS officers as many of them are having additional charges, while around a dozen officers are waiting for postings. Some officers have been waiting for a posting for the last nine months, some officers have been made to wait for over two months.

These officers have not been given any posting till now. Similarly, Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district collector Anitha Ramachandran (IAS: 2004: Telangana) was shifted in June and is still waiting for a posting. Similarly, Swetha Mohanty (IAS: 2011: Telangana) was holding posts of the collector of Hyderabad and Medchal districts after she was shifted last week, Medak district collector has been asked to look after Medchal, while Nagarkurnool collector L Sharman (IAS: 2011: Telangana) has been posted as Hyderabad district collector. Bhadradri Kothagudem collector post has been given to junior officer Anudeep Durishetty (IAS: 2018: Telangana) after the retirement of MV Reddy two-and-a-half months ago. The state government has not appointed full-fledged heads for important departments like higher education, agriculture and Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority till today. Interestingly, the state government, on several occasions, has said it requires at least 250 IAS officers as against the present strength of 130 officers. Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allocate more officers to the state. The allocated posts for the state are 208 officers, only 136 IAS officers are working in different capacities. Many of the officers have been given additional charge, while nearly a dozen officers are waiting for postings. While some officers have been waiting for a posting for the last nine months, some officers have been made to wait for over two months.
