In order to address the genuine issues of postings of the Masters & Lecturers, the Director ordered the setting up of a four member committee comprising of CEOs of Kishtwar, Jammu, Udhampur and Poonch to frame a draft of Transfer Policy which should frame a zone based policy by segregating the entire Jammu province into zones on the basis of difficulty of terrain and distances from home town.

He also discussed the issues related to the grievances of Lab bearers who have been denied promotions to Lab Assistants inspite of seniority and eligibility due to the confusion caused by an SRO of 2008.
