Home Ministry turns down Haryana govt’s demand for 3 DGPs & 8 ADGPs

Ministry of Home Affairs

The Union Home Ministry has turned down the proposal of Haryana government seeking to increase the cadre posts of DGP and ADGP, terming it “against the norm.” The ministry has also asked the state government to re-examine a related proposal.

The state government had sent its proposal in February this year seeking to increase the number of DGP-level posts from current two to three and ADGP-level posts from six to eight. The ministry has observed that the proposal for increasing the posts of DGP and ADGP level is “beyond the normative percentage prescribed for these levels”. The ministry also clarified that “as compared to other states of similar cadre strength, no state has more than two cadre posts at DGP level.” Haryana currently has a cadre strength of 79 posts. The Home Ministry conveyed its decision to the state government through a communication sent to the state chief secretary last month.

The matter of fact is that every state has a stipulated cadre strength of bureaucrats and relaxing its norms for one state would mean sparking a chain reaction as the other states could inundate the ministry with similar demands. The reason behind such move by a state government is to get an opportunity to promote the IPS officers to higher ranks in order to respect their seniority and keep them in good humour.

U’khand HC asks Centre to disclose empanelment details of IFoS officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi

In a landmark judgement, the Uttarakhand High Court has directed the Centre to provide Sanjeev Chaturvedi, an IFoS officer of 2002 batch, with record of his empanelment details. Chaturvedi had moved the High Court after failing to get empanelled as the Joint Secretary at the Centre. As per judgement, the central government will now have to disclose its records concerning the process and decision-making of his empanelment as Joint Secretary.

Though the disclosure is limited to documents pertaining only to Chaturvedi’s empanelment, it has set a precedent that can be used by those bureaucrats who fail to get empanelled without getting any clue of failure. Now the aggrieved officers may seek judicial intervention to have the government records pertaining to the process of evaluation for empanelment, and know the exact reason behind their rejections.

The fact is a number of bureaucrats have been clueless as to how they missed the opportunity to secure empanelment after the introduction of an ambiguous 360-degree method applied by the Centre for empanelment.

The High Court’s judgement has certainly given a sigh of relief to those officers who fail to get empanelled as Joint Secretary, Additional Secretary or Secretary at the Centre without getting any clue and sulk in silence.

The Ministry of Home Affairs on Thursday (05.09.2024) appointed senior IAS officer Manish Kumar Gupta (IAS:1991:AGMUT) as the new Chief Secretary of Arunachal Pradesh. He is currently handling responsibilities of seven departments of Delhi government as Additional Chief Secretary. These departments include Land and Building, Revenue, Home, Industries, Labour, DUSIB, Urban Development and Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation.

Following the appointment of the incumbent Chief Secretary of Arunachal Pradesh Dharmendra (IAS:1989:AGMUT) as Delhi’s Chief Secretary, it was being speculated that Manish Kumar Gupta would be assigned the charge of Arunachal CS. However, the entry of IAS officer Sajjan Singh Yadav’s (IAS:1996:AGMUT) name as contender made things interesting. Ultimately, the MHA assigned the post to Manish Kumar Gupta.

Further, it was anticipated that the MHA would effect a major bureaucratic reshuffle, including the appointment of a new Chief Secretary for Arunachal Pradesh. However, the MHA issued a separate order specifically regarding the appointment of the Arunachal CS.
