Mandsaur CEO Remains In Post Three Months After Transfer
The government moved Anukul Jain from one job to another in June.
He was supposed to become an additional collector in Burhanpur.
However, he did not receive the order needed to leave his current job.
So, three months later, he is still working as the Mandsaur District Panchayat CEO.
Mandsaur also has not received a replacement additional collector.
The government recently released 17 other officers from their old positions.
Jain was not among them.
A retired officer said the government should either cancel a transfer or officially release the officer.
He said staying in the same job after being transferred is unfair.
The government transferred Mandsaur District Panchayat CEO Anukul Jain on June 15.
Jain was appointed additional collector of Burhanpur district but has not received a relieving order.
Three months after the transfer, Jain continues working in his Mandsaur position.
No replacement additional collector was transferred to Mandsaur because Jain’s relieving remains unresolved.
The government unilaterally relieved 17 SAS officers, but Jain was not included.
