ANGER IS GROWING in a critical docket after frequent changes that some of the
officials have termed insensitive and inconsiderate of career growth and
progression. Word is that officials barely settle in their new work stations
before a change is instigated. In one case, it is reported that an officer wasn’t even posted after vetting.
Some insiders have questioned the wisdom of demoting top civil servants in the
changes, saying it creates confusion in the command structure. A top state
functionary is accused of allegedly
making the changes without due consideration of the impact on the officers'
careers.
