Sir,
The record promotions in the School Education Department have turned out to be mirage for the promotees as well as the department particularly in the Jammu division. The euphoria and enthusiasm generated by the promotions has evaporated and uncertainty and confusion has taken over. The unprecedented promotions across the cadre had sent a feeling that the change of guard will address the issue of stagnation and shortage of faculty in the department for over all welfare of the society. But the unnecessary delay of almost six months in the adjustment of Lecturers and Masters in Jammu has deflated the balloon.
There is growing feeling that the way the promotion orders were issued even on holiday on the eve of discussion on the grants for the department was more out of political considerations than for the betterment of the department. These were aimed at stealing the applause and blunting the criticism in the legislature. The delay in adjustment of common promotees and selective adjustment of the influential at desired places at the highest level reinforce such feelings.
The policy is going to boomerang if corrective measures are not initiated at the earliest. The Dy.Chief Minister shall act to ensure that the promotees are adjusted at the earliest keeping in view the need with minimum displacement and preference to the aged and ill as promised by the Minister himself.
Yours etc….
