Indian Employees Seek Transfers Amid Family Responsibilities

Serious illness of parents and the responsibility of taking care of them have been cited the most by the employees for the transfers. Many employees have sought posting at the same place as the spouses are working in different districts. After the extension of the deadline for transfers, the number of employees in the secretariat, ministerial residences and offices of public representatives is steadily increasing. Now the process of issuing transfer orders on the basis of these applications and recommendations at the departmental level is expected to speed up.
