No mercy on group 'C' & 'D' govt. employees; Individuals who have exceeded their designated tenure are compelled to remain stationed in the Southern group of Islands, even if they are female employees

TMI Bureau

Port Blair, Nov 15: "When an employee receives a transfer order to the Southern group of Islands, their mindset is initially prepared for a specific period or tenure according to the transfer policy. Despite facing various challenges, including a lack of accommodation facilities, government quarters, guest houses, mess facilities, and boat/ship services, even female employees, proceed with the transfer.

However, after their designated tenure is over, they often become victims of favoritism and influence, subject to mockery through biased transfers. It has been observed that many government employees working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, after serving for several years in the Southern group of remote Islands, are forced to remain stationed there even after the completion of their tenure. This situation is particularly challenging due to the inadequate infrastructure in these Southern group of Islands, including Car Nicobar, Katchal, Kamorta, Teresa, Campbell Bay, Little Andaman, and more.

Interestingly, some government employees have managed to stay stationed in Port Blair for over 10 years, which seems to mock the transfer policy and is an injustice to those who obediently accept transfers to remote islands and serve there to complete their tenure.

According to the unclear transfer policy, the tenure for group 'A' and 'B' in the Southern group of Islands is 6 months, while for group 'C' and 'D', it is 12 months. Teaching staff are to be posted to these islands for a continuous period of 10 months to coincide with the academic year.

Ironically, it appears that all policies are being bent in the face of favoritism and influence, with some individuals mocking the transfer policy within the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, right under the noses of the Chief Secretary, other IAS, and DANICS officers.

To put an end to this blatant mockery of the transfer policy in practice, it is crucial to ensure that the policy is followed in both letter and spirit when transfer orders are issued, preventing employees from becoming victims of biased transfers.
