Yogi Adityanath’s transfer policy: 3 years too long

Approving the new transfer policy for 2017-18, the Yogi Adityanath Cabinet on Tuesday ordered shifting of all government officials and employees who have been posted at one place for long.

Briefing media persons after the fifth Cabinet meeting of the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government, senior Cabinet minister Suresh Khanna said that all government officers and employees who have been posted in a district for more than 3 years and in commissionary for 7 years will be shunted out. Ministers and heads of departments will be allowed only 30 per cent transfers. “The Chief Minister’s approval will be required for effecting above 30 per cent transfers,” clarified Khanna.

Similarly, department head will be allowed only 20 per cent transfers of Class III and IV, and approval will be required from the CM for above the limit. “All transfers are to be effected before June 30,” said Khanna.
