CHQ writes to Director (HR) regarding Promotion and postings in DGM (T) grade on adhoc basis – request for re-allotment to Parent circle to the extent of available vacancies:

'This promotion has been made available to most of the executives at the fag end of their service, when dislocation is the least desirable consequence of promotion. Most of those who have been posted outside their circles have already crossed 56 years and some even 58 years. Attributing equalization of shortage in DGM grade among various circles as a reason for posting outside the circles when sufficient number of vacancies are available in the parent circles, will not be fair since the number of DGM posts in each circle is comparatively less and any shortage is easily managed by the circles by ordering looking on. Unlike other grades, DGM grade carries mainly managerial functions and executives from other circles may not be able to effectively carry out these functions in a completely unfamiliar environment.'   Read More
