Andaman and Nicobar Police has been lauded time and again for honestly enforcing its transfer Policy. Police personnel are transferred out on time from hard areas because of which majority of the staff do not hesitate to join their place of posting, unlike in other departments.
Regular Home Guards posted in Nicobar District in the year 2019 are still waiting for their transfer. Sources have informed that the last transfer of Home Guards from Nicobar District was carried out in the year 2020. Regular Home Guards who were transferred to the Islands of Nicobar District in 2018 were transferred out of the district in 2020.
After 2020 the transfer of Regular Home Guards has not been done and because of this many such employees are facing a lot of problems.
It is unfair that the Regular Home Guards posted at Nicobar District have served three years instead of the one-year tenure as prescribed in the transfer policy, but are still waiting for their transfer.
Nicobar District is a hard area to work in and the transfer policy of the departments of the Andaman and Nicobar Administration are formulated in such a manner that employees do not feel punished upon their transfer to Nicobar District.
Many departments have fixed short tenures for Nicobar District so that the employees do not hesitate in joining duty at the place of their posting when transferred.
Transfer policy should be adhered to so that the employees being transferred to the Islands of Nicobar District are motivated enough to serve the public with utmost dedication.
