..by the way
Chetan Bhushan Sanghi, a
1988-batch IAS officer of the AGMUT cadre and Chief Secretary of Puducherry,
has been transferred as Joint Secretary, Women and Child Welfare. Sources
disclose that Sanghi is stressed with the transfer in the Central Government as
this post is routine in nature. He wants to get the transfer cancelled by the
Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT). As per the rules, if he does not
join he will be debarred from further postings. Chief Minister of Puducherry N
Rangaswamy has also written to DoPT, seeking to retain Sanghi for some more
time but the DoPT is not amused. The logic given to DoPT is that when KK
Sharma, a 1983-batch IAS officer was posted as Additional Secretary in Women
and Child Welfare, his posting was cancelled and he was posted instead as Chief
Secretary, Goa. But DoPT is in no mood to oblige Sanghi. If Sanghi does not
join the designated office and is debarred from future postings, he will face
serious problems in his career. There is another twist to this story: other
officers are waiting for Sanghi to join as JS. One prominent lady officer in
the Delhi government is eager to take his position as Chief Secretary,
Puducherry, as soon as Sanghi demits office. Sources disclose that a lady
officer, with considerable influence, sitting on Raisina Hill, is eager to help
the female candidate. We will just have to wait for the DoPT order and see if
it bails Sanghi out or not.
