Now that Verma is back in Delhi, the list of transfers is likely to be released early this week. The transfers are expected in the procurement and planning sections of DoT. Last week, transfer of officers in the finance section and service privatisation group was announced. Some of the transfers came as a surprise because the officers transferred had spent barely a year in their respective posts.
However, top DoT officials say the transfers expected this time around are routine. For instance, there are officers in the material management (procurement) section who have been in their present postings for more than two years. Other officials likely to be moved are in the planning section.
There are also moves afoot in the DoT to revamp the equipment tender evaluation procedure.
