Deccan Chronicle: Vijayawada: Friday, January 12, 2018.
The state
government needs more than 40 IAS officers as of now. Following non-filling of
posts and also delay in postings of IAS officers, several administrative works
have been stalled or slowed down in the Secretariat and also in various
departments.
The need of
the State has been communicated to the Centre, said a bureaucrat. “With the
increased demand we are accommodating the IRS and Indian Forest Service
officers in various departments,” he added. The state government is scouting
for IRS and IFS officers, who want to serve AP cadre at least for a period of
three years, as per the norms of DoPT. In fact, the APTIDCO and even EDB have
such non-IAS officers, following the dearth of the IAS officers.
Last year, in
the month of September, Deccan Chronicle had reported about the Central
deputation requests for IAS and IPS officers, based on the information obtained
under the RTI Act. Since then, one more senior bureaucrat Ms Sumita Dawra went
on Central deputation. On one hand, dearth of IAS officers is hampering the
administration and on the other, IAS officers are placing requests for
deputation.
A few senior
bureaucrats are already being burdened with two to three departments even as
four more IAS officers have applied for Central deputation.
