G.O. 610: orders for repatriation on June 28

Supernumerary posts may be created to accommodate transferred staff

HYDERABAD: Taking a step further towards repatriating non-local employees to their native zones, the Government announced on Monday that orders for transferring such of those already identified in line with GO 610 would be issued by the departments concerned by June 28 or 29

A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the Group of Ministers on GO 610 held here with Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in the chair. It was resolved at the meeting that once the orders were issued, the employees would be transferred without fail whether they were willing or not. Ministers D. Srinivas (Higher Education), K. Jana Reddy (Home), K. Ranga Rao (Municipal Administration) and J. C. Diwakar Reddy (Panchayat Raj) and Chief Secretary J. Harinarayan, and other senior officials attended the meeting.

Speaking to reporters later, Mr Srinivas said supernumerary posts would be created, if necessary, to accommodate the transferred staff in their native zones. He said a deadline could not be fixed for repatriation as the identification of non-locals was a long-drawn process requiring time.

Modalities

Asked what the Government would do if the transferred employees were unwilling to move out, he said, “They have to go out compulsorily, honouring the Presidential Order. Moreover, the modalities for implementing GO 610 were worked out on the basis of the suggestions obtained from the Joint Staff Council.

Mr Srinivas declined to react to the action of some police employees approaching the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal against repatriation orders on the plea that they were appointed under Hyderabad Police Act. He said the Government would get all these issues cleared and go ahead with the repatriation.
