Telangana govt takes serious view of transfers in violation of prescribed norms
The Heads of Departments (HoDs) and corporation heads issued orders citing, in some instances, Government Orders which are no longer in force as the basis for such transfers. Finance Secretary Sandeep Kumar Sultania recalled the ban on the transfer of employees, except in some cases, imposed on August 1 last year. Accordingly, posting orders to employees on account of promotion should be issued to clear the existing vacancies without shifting any other employees.
Posting orders to employees due to disbandment of posts, reversions, repatriations, deputations (on Foreign Service only), and disciplinary proceedings should be issued in clear existing vacancies without shifting other employees. The same is the case with employees on return from long leave of more than six months. The vacancy arising out of the leave up to six months should not be filled by transfer.
The government has specifically instructed the departments to obtain orders in circulation to the Chief Minister through Finance Secretary, Chief Secretary, Minister concerned and Finance Minister in case of relaxation of ban on transfers is required. However, it has come to the notice of the government that few departments were issuing transfer orders without following the ban.
Mr. Sultania in a circular memo termed 'most important' requested all the administrative heads to issue suitable instructions to the HoDs/corporations concerned and other institutions that there would be no exemptions and permissions for transfer of employees except for the conditions laid down, and directed them to strictly comply with the orders.

‘China Gurus, Chindia': Jaishankar slams Rahul, Jairam in Rajya Sabha – ‘spent 41 years in foreign services'
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday slammed at the Opposition leaders in Rajya Sabha, taking a dig at 'China Guru' Jairam Ramesh, and other Congress leaders who often raise issues about the relationship between India and its neighbours. Jaishankar was speaking in the Rajya Sabha, commencing the debate on Operation Sindoor. "I have spent 41 years in the Foreign Service, only been the longest-serving Ambassador, but there are 'China Gurus'. One of them is the member sitting in front of me (Jairam Ramesh), whose affection for China is so great, 'unhone ek sandhi bana li thi India aur China ki, Chindia' (they have conjoined India and China, Chindia)," Jaishankar said during his address in Parliament. Continuing his jibe, Jaishankar said that while he may lack knowledge about China, he did not learn about the country through Olympics, unlike others who took "private tuitions" at the home of the Chinese Ambassador. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh used the word 'Chindia' in his 2007 book Making Sense of Chindia: Reflections on China and India. The EAM's remarks during the discussion on Operation Sindoor were met bylaughter from the treasury benches sitting behind him, followed by loud protests from the Opposition benches. "I may lack knowledge about China because I did not learn about China through the Olympics, no one called me, I was not a special person. Some people gained their knowledge of China during their visit to the Olympics. Let's not discuss who they met or what they signed. They also took private tuitions at their homes from the Chinese Ambassador," Jaishankar continued. Jaishankar detailed the history of collaboration between the two nations. He mentioned the 1966 plan for the India-Pakistan Karokoram highway and nuclear collaboration in 1976, among other things, all of which happened during Congress-led governments. "'China Gurus' say that Pakistan and China have close ties, that is true. But how did they come close? What is the reason? It was because in the middle we had left PoK. This issue has been happening since 1962 and 1963 (since India-China war) Karokoram highway's planning started in 1966 and finished in 1986. You know who's government was Nuclear collaboration happened in 1976?" he stated. "In 1980, when India's PM was going to Pakistan and saying a deal would happen, the talks between China and Pakistan were going on. However, saying that these ties developed overnight means they were sleeping during the history class," he added. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has repeatedly criticised the Centre over the handling of its relationship with China. The Congress leader had in March also demanded a debate on the issue. More recently, on July 4, the Congress leader also told ANI that there was "China's influence over Pakistan's Air Force," while India and Pakistan had become increasingly hostile in May after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. "Today, it is proven that we were not fighting Pakistani Air Force, this was with China. China has totally captured the Pakistani Air Force. That is why Congress is repeatedly demanding a discussion on it. For five years, we have been asking; when the situation was bad and the PM also gave a clean chit to China that no one has come in and is sitting on our land," Jairam Ramesh said. EAM Jaishankar also mentioned during his speech that Indian diplomacy had succeeded in getting the UNSC Monitoring Team to accept that the Resistance Front (TRF) is a terrorist entity.
