While deciding the transfer policy, the Government had said that at district level, the Collector, with the approval of the In-charge minister, would transfer class III and class IV employees. Such transfer orders will be issued from Monday.
Through the Collector, district-level Departmental Officer will send transfer proposal to the In-charge minister and after getting approval from the Minister, the Collector will issue orders.
