Plight of officers

Sir, - Why are so many IAS officers kept waiting without any postings? If the present Government finds their work unsatisfactory, they must either suspend them, or if they have committed any offence, they should be penalised or if they have no work in Tamil Nadu, they should be reverted to the central pool.

Mr. Uma Shankar, Collector, Thiruvarur district, is among the best and was a pioneer in e-Governance in the State. He was invited by foreign organisations to participate in e-Governance seminars, but has not been granted permission to participate by the present Government neither has he been given a posting. Is not this a waste of talent and waste of the tax-payers money? Is he being victimised because he exposed the cemetery shed scam of the then AIADMK Government?

R. Nagarajan,

Kumbakonam, T.N.
