"All transfers and postings of Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre officers were done as per laid down norms and rules," Home Secretary R K Singh said here.
Yesterday, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit met Home Minister P Chidambram and demanded that the city government be consulted before effecting transfer of top officials of her administration.
Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has even demanded an apology from the Home Minister for what he called "unilaterally appointing IPS officers in the state and without taking the state government into confidence".
The Home Ministry, which controls the AGMUT cadres officers, has recently effected reshuffle in senior officers, including IAS and IPS, who have completed their stipulated tenures in a particular administrative area.
"Some time, we do make exceptions in transfer and postings only due to strong grounds like ill health. But that too for a few months only," the Home Secretary said. (More)
