The CMO alleged that all directions given by the CM regarding proposals for transferring and posting officials were overruled. The NCCSA has been reduced to a complete farce. Bureaucrats are dictating their own will, overturning decisions taken by an elected CM.

The CM had issued several directives about pending transfer-posting proposals. These included objections to the removal of competent officers from the Education Department and the approval of transfers for women officers from their current positions. A total of 11 women officers had requested transfers on sympathetic grounds. Both bureaucrats did not oppose the CM’s stand during the actual meeting. However, when finalising the minutes of the meeting, the Chief Secretary and Principal Secretary (Home) allegedly overturned every decisions of the CM.

Reportedly, the request of women officials for transfer from Sub Registrar was not part of the agenda, and it was agreed in principle that it would be taken up in the next agenda. It is being projected that officials are not listening and need absolute control. A lie is being spread that NCCSA is transferring officials from the Education Department. This is not correct. No officer who is physically working in the department was proposed for transfer.
