Fed up with constant complaints from the Chief Ministers of
Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Delhi regarding the transfer and posting of
IAS officers within the AGMUT cadre, the Home Ministry had set up a Joint Cadre
Authority headed by the Home Secretary. The Chief Secretaries of Arunachal
Pradesh, Mizoram, Goa and Delhi are the other members. Transfer and postings of
IAS officers, excepting the postings of Chief Secretaries and Administrators of
UTs, is now decided by the JCA. Till now, only a few meetings have taken place
but it appears that the Home Ministry has landed itself in another round of
controversies. The Chief Secretaries now find the JCA to be a convenient
platform to settle their personal scores against officers whom they don’t like
personally. As a consequence, some officers who deserve to be posted in a
particular segment of the cadre find themselves landing in faraway places.
Sources disclosed that there are some officers who are blue-eyed boys of some
Chief Secretaries who never step out of Delhi. It seems any Chief Secretary has
a veto power during the proceedings of the JCA and the MHA no longer remains
the real cadre-controlling authority. Minister Rajnath Singh has to take a call
on doing away with the dominance of the Chief Secretaries in the JCA. Will he
do it?
