The state advisory committee will make only provisional allocation of
state-cadre employees between Telangana and residuary Andhra Pradesh.
The headache of final allocation and taking options from employees will
be passed on to the chief ministers of the two new states.
It means that the committee headed by CR Kamalanathan will allocate Telangana-born employees to Telangana state and Seemandhra-born employees to Andhra Pradesh.
Of the 76,000 divisible posts of the state-cadre, 20,000 are vacant. The individual employees to be allocated number 56,000. Of the divisible pool of employees, 44 per cent belong to Telangana and 56 per cent to Seemandhra.
It may be recalled that there were differences of opinion at the committee meeting held here on Friday. The officials are keen that the Telangana government should run from June 2, the Appointed Day.
If the provisional allocation is made as per the birth place of employees, Telangana will face a problem of shortage of officers at senior level like additional director and additional secretary.
The residuary Andhra Pradesh will have too many officers.
This is because Telangana employees were more in levels from section officer down to attender. Seemandhras are more in senior positions.
So, there will be initial hiccups in administration in both the states.
However, the state advisory committee will take a decision to pass on the headache to the chief ministers of two states to allocate the staff. “If there is shortage of officers in Telangana, the T-government may promote its employees,” an officer said.
The reason to take options after June 2 was that Kamalanathan Committee is yet to finalise the guidelines. Once it finalises the guidelines, then they have to be vetted by DoPT joint secretary Archana Varma and gone through by her bosses. Later, the guidelines should be sent to Prime Minister’s Office for PM’s nod. It will take a lot of time.
In respect of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand, the allocation was done in two months’ time after taking the options after the Appointed Day. But, the situation in AP is different. Officials have to take into consideration the presidential order, zonal, local, non-local and other issues.
“TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao has announced that Seemandhra employees who got jobs in Telangana in open category too will be sent back to AP. We are also considering such issues,” an officer told Express on Saturday. The Telangana movement was fuelled by employees for accelerated promotions, then students participated in it hoping to get more jobs in government, another officer recalled.
So, in all probability, the state advisory committee will allocate the Telangana staff to Telangana and Seemandhra staff to Seemandhra, to see that the administration in both the states will run from June 2. Giving options to employees and transfer of employees to one state to other, if any, will be decided by the chief ministers both the states with mutual consent, the sources said. If there is any problem, then the Centre may intervene and prevail upon two states.
CR Kamalanathan, along with principal secretary (finance) PV Ramesh, will visit Bhopal on April 15 to study how the staff were allocated between the successor states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. So, finalising guidelines will take some more time.
Deadline Extended for Data on cadre
Hyderabad: Even as the deadline for furnishing the data of state-cadre employees ended on Saturday, heads of various departments (HoDs) failed to meet the deadline again. Now, finance department officials have set another deadline of April 19. It may be recalled that in a recent memo, the Finance Department requested the HoDs to follow the instructions scrupulously and furnish the information by April 12. But several big departments have failed to furnish the information of employees. The departments have to prepare ‘Department-Tree’ giving structure and category of employees. In the recent memo, the finance department warned that if the nodal officers failed to furnish the information, their pay and allowances would be withheld for the month of April. “Now, we have to stop the pay and allowances of secretaries of respective departments,” an officer quipped.
