IAS Officer Faces Fourth Transfer in One Year, Alleges Mutiny

She was transferred for the fourth time in one year.
Her latest job lasted only about 50 days.
Singh says some employees opposed her and threatened to get her transferred.
She says they disobeyed instructions, delayed files and treated her badly.
She reported these concerns through official channels.
However, she says she was transferred instead of the employees being disciplined.
She feels hurt and worried that frequent transfers make it hard to learn and complete each assignment.
Neha Marvya Singh, a 2011-batch Madhya Pradesh-cadre IAS officer, was transferred for the fourth time in one year.
Her latest posting lasted about 50 days before the Madhya Pradesh government’s September 5 reshuffle.
Singh alleged that subordinates rebelled against her, threatened to have her transferred and obstructed her work.
She said she had reported insubordination, stalled files and alleged mistreatment through official channels.
Singh said repeated transfers had humiliated and demotivated her and made it difficult to manage assignments effectively.
