D-Day For Employees: Kamalanathan Committee May Finalize Guidelines Today

The Kamalnathan Committee will be meeting on Wednesday to finalise guidelines for distribution of around 50,000 State level employees.

The committee, which was flooded with thousands of suggestions over its draft guidelines uploaded 10 days ago, is expected to do some minor changes but leave critical demands on accommodating employees in respective native states to the 2 states to resolve on their own. The committee will discuss this in today’s meeting, make some recommendations and amends based on the discussions and forward the final guidelines to the Department of Personnel and Training for approval of the Prime Minister.

The committee reportedly decided to have a coordination committee with the officials of State Reorganisation cells of both the States to oversee the options and allotment process. The entire data of employees was being monitored by the Centre for Good Governance headed by a Telangana government official, they added.

To resolve issues of relocating employees between 2 states based on their nativity and the employees options, both Governments can create supernumerary posts. While TS is willing for this route, AP is unwilling and that has created the deadlock. The Committee is unlikely to press it’s view here and leave the decision for discussions between both states. 

While TS employees complained about the fake nativity entries in service book, the Committee seem to taken a decision to give top priority to education certificates as proofs of nativity, in addition to service register data. 

Final guidelines maybe arrived at today and things would be clear by today evening.
