After recalling the joint secretary of Darbandi, the deputy secretary was retained

Rabindralal Das of the road project has been sent as acting chief on the highway where the post of joint secretary is. In Madhyapahari, the post of joint secretary has been removed and deputy secretary has been appointed.

Federal Road Supervision and Monitoring Office Kathmandu chief and joint secretary Gyanendra Kumar Jha has been transferred in two and a half months and sent to work as the project head of Nagadhunga Tunnel. He was transferred to the monitoring office in the last week of May.

With the change of government, the transfer of heads of ministries, departments and offices that are directly connected with economic and infrastructure development has now become routine. The government, which transferred 22 secretaries within two weeks of forming the government, is now engaged in the transfer of employees of the Ministry of Finance, Physical Infrastructure and Transport and Urban Development.

The government is changing the jobs and searching for the heads of important departments, offices, projects and divisions under these ministries . The haphazard movement on the road since the past without any regard for standards has continued this time as well.

Division road and project heads under the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure have been called back within three months of their transfer . With the change of physical minister and secretary, the project chiefs have been called back within three months of being transferred because the construction budget is high.

These are just examples. According to the list of transfers published by the Ministry of Physical Affairs, 78 people including joint secretaries and deputy secretaries have been transferred last week. In particular, the heads of divisions and road projects that have sufficient resources with large budgets have been transferred within three months . The employees of the road department say, 'We don't know when and where.'

According to the Civil Act 2049, gazetted employees up to the second category (Deputy Secretary) should be kept in the same place for at least two years. However, there is a complaint in the staff circle that violations of the standards mentioned in the civil law are done by the ministers and secretaries.

But Keshav Kumar Sharma, secretary of the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, insisted that the complaint about the transfer was wrong. He said that there was nothing except the "correction" of the transfers that happened earlier. The transfer to be done in August has been made regular," he said. Secretary Sharma claimed that the decision this time was good as he was trying to make the transfer orderly. Some of the transfers made during the previous Physical Minister Raghuveer Mahaseth have been reversed.

At that time, the then Minister Mahaseth sent Sharma to the Water and Energy Commission and brought Gopal Sigdel from the Ministry of Energy to the physical . In the transfer made on July 14, Sigdel was transferred to the Secretary of the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation and Sharma was brought from the Energy Commission to the Ministry of Materials.

After Sharma became the secretary, in the transfer made a week ago, more than 22 deputy secretaries have reached a period of only 1 year . Shankar Paudel, head of planning of Madhyapahari Highway Gorkha office and Dipendra Bahadur Shrestha, division head of bridge sector Nepalgunj, have been transferred within four months .

Arun Kumar Lal Karna of Hulaki Highway Birgunj has been transferred to Road Division Chandranigahpur Rautahat and Ramesh Chaudhary of Road Division Sanfebagar has been transferred to Madan Bhandari Highway Office Gulmi . Both of them were transferred within three months. Similarly, the ministry has given responsibility for 7 projects by making them deputy heads.

has been designated for major remote projects. Ministry sources claim that this situation has come about because the employees do not want to go to remote areas. But Secretary Sharma said that due to lack of staff, he had to be given the responsibility of acting. Some employees are suspended, some numbers are not enough. That's why we had to give an excuse," he said. Darchula, Tinker, Chainpur, Baitadi, Sanfebagar and other road planning offices have been designated as major instruments.
