Punjab IAS gets extension after a month of getting farewell

By

Government sometimes exhibits a bizarre style of functioning. The case of extension given to IAS officer Anindita Mitra (IAS:2007:PB) can be cited as an example.

Mitra, a Punjab cadre IAS, was given an inter-cadre deputation from Punjab to AGMUT and posted as Municipal commissioner in Chandigarh administration. Her term ended on August 22, and hence she was given a warm farewell by colleagues of the Corporation. Mitra was expecting to get an extension and waited for it till late in the evening that day, but no order was issued. Finally, she left for her home cadre-Punjab.

After a month, she gets a letter by the central government informing her that she is given a three-months extension as the Municipal Commissioner in Chandigarh. Interestingly, the letter by the central government comes when one month out of the three months of extension has already passed.

It means that, effectively, she gets only two months of extension, but is supposed to serve for a three months term, thanks to the surprising way of the government’s functioning.

The Uttar Pradesh government has ordered its employees to declare their assets on the Manav Sampada portal, meant for this purpose, by this month end or face the music. Those who fail to abide by this order will get no salary for the month of September. This move is aimed at bringing transparency in the governance and its administration.

According to the order, issued by Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, all Additional Chief Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and Heads of Departments must declare their assets, movable as well as immovable, on the portal by September 30. It has been clearly stated in the order that only those employees who provide their details of assets on the portal would be given their September salaries.

According to sources, 90 per cent of state government employees have already provided details of their assets on the portal. The state has a total strength of 8.44 lakh employees, out of which 7.19 lakh staffers have already disclosed their assets on the portal. This means this order is meant for the remaining 1.25 lakh government employees who are yet to furnish details of their assets.

It is not that the government is holding the stick only, the employees who abide by the order will get their reviews done on time. The Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) has been entrusted the task of conducting a timely review of the employees who abide by the order.

Suspense over U’khand Chief Secretary deepens

Suspense continues to deepen as to who will be the Uttarakhand Chief Secretary as the current incumbent, Radha Raturi (IAS:1988:UK) is going to retire on September 30 after a six-month service extension. This is the talking point in the corridors of power, with the state bureaucracy abuzz with speculation. There is also a possibility that Raturi may receive another extension.

Radha Raturi, took over the charge of Chief Secretary on January 31 his year, two months before she was to retire. But she was granted a six-month extension by the Pushkar Singh Dhami government. This time again, there is a strong perception that she might walk away with another extension.

In case, she fails to get another term, on the basis of seniority Anand Bardhan (IAS:1992:UK), currently holding the position of Additional Chief Secretary, may get an opportunity to be the next CS. He is set to retire in June 2027. The state BJP government is yet to take a call on this issue.

The service extension is decided by the central government on the recommendation of the state government. Unfortunately, no communication between the Centre and the State on this issue is reported, thus providing substance to the suspense.
