G.O.Ms.No.5, Reversion of One Office Assistant cum Driver Post to SADP Unit-I, 2018
The Government of Tamil Nadu, through the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (TC-II) Department, issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 5 dated 9 January 2018 to return one Office Assistant cum Driver post from the State Level Technical Cell at the State Planning Commission, Chennai, to Special Area Development Programme Unit-I at Udhagamandalam. It is an internal staffing decision and does not contain provisions changing land ownership, land classification or property rights.
What the document does
Government Order (Ms.) No. 5 dated 9 January 2018, issued by the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (TC-II) Department, changes the placement of one government staff post. One Office Assistant cum Driver post that had been redeployed to the State Level Technical Cell at the State Planning Commission, Chennai, Unit-II, is returned to Special Area Development Programme Unit-I at Udhagamandalam.
The Government accepted a request from the Project Director of the Special Area Development Programme. The Finance Department concurred with the decision.
Why the post was returned
Special Area Development Programme Unit-I reported that five vehicles had been sanctioned for its work, but only two regular drivers were available. The unit stated that this made frequent inspections difficult in the hilly terrain of the Nilgiris District and the other three districts covered by the programme.
The Project Director and other officers also needed vehicles to inspect programme works and attend district-level meetings. The Office Assistant cum Driver post was therefore requested back as a special case.
