The Revenue Department is embroiled in controversy over
transfers and promotions with the various Employees' union crying foul over it,
alleging it will adversely
affect zero landless project and government initiative against encroachments.
The Unions, belonging to the ruling and the opposition, alleged
that higher officials, deputy collectors, Tahalsidars and even low ranking
employees were transferred flouting all existing norms. They alleged that all
the transfers and promotions in the department was only going to sabotage the
projects like Zero Landless and also scuttle the government's initiative
against encroachers.
Kerala Revenue Department Staff Association (KRDSA) president K
Sreekantan Nair alleged that a section of the staff in the Revenue Minister's
office was behind the transfers. The transfer of Assistant Commissioners D Sajith Babu
and P Suresh Babu and Land Board Assistant Secretary Shibu were
done at the behest of some persons who had vested interest, he alleged.
Stating that transfers are normally given for
persons who have completed three years in a particular office, Nair said that
those who have not completed that much years have also been transferred where
as others who have completed more than 5 years and who are close to the Minister's
office are still working in the same office.
Agreeing to the same, Kerala Land Revenue Staff Association (KLRSA) secretary M K
Krishnan Namboothiri said that there was uncertainty with regard to the
transfers and promotions. ''It has come to the notice that junior persons
working in some districts have been transferred even when senior hands were
eligible for transfers. We are not against giving transfers on compassionate
grounds but it has been see that some of the transfers were done without
adhering to any norms,'' he said.
