Deptt changes strategy to prevent confrontation among ministers Police transfers police way 6/15/2015 12:25:23 AM Early Times Report JAMMU, June 14: In the absence of unanimity among the State Cabinet for affecting transfers in police, the department has adopted a unique modus operandi to shuffle its officers from one place of posting to another by taking a go ahead from the Home Department and then issue transfer orders of different officers in piece meals. According to sources, the department first prepares the list of the officials to be transferred and then shifts them after getting an approval from the Home Department. "As of now only one such list was issued wherein a few transfers were executed…Within a few days, another list containing names of officers to be transferred will be released as the Police Headquarters (PHQ) has prepared a detailed list," said sources. "For carrying out the transfers, the ADGP and IGP rank officers posted at PHQ has met the top officials in Home Department…..After discussing the list with the top brass in Home Department, now its release is being awaited," they added. Sources further informed that the police department is forced to adopt such a mechanism to execute transfers as the Ministers representing the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in the State cabinet have serious differences over the transfers in police due to which the reshuffle is lingering on for quite some time. "The delay in transfers is affecting the smooth functioning of the PHQ… In the given situation the department has no other option to by-pass cabinet for implementing the transfer orders of the high ranking officers," said sources. "The PHQ has been given secret instructions to carry out transfers ahead of cabinet meetings so as to avoid any confrontation among coalition Ministers over the issue of transfers," they added. With no major shake-up in police department being executed over a long period of time, the security related issues concerning annual Amarnath pilgrimage, commencing from July 2, is also a major source of anxiety for the PHQ which prompted it to carry out transfers on its own level. In this connection, the PHQ managed to get approval from the Home Department on its own for transferring as many as six district heads of police which in normal circumstances would have been reshuffled in a cabinet meeting but the lack of consensus paved way for the alternate route.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
