Central government’s latest appointment orders, under which IAS, forest service, postal service officers of junior batches have superseded IPS ranks, left many bureaucrats annoyed. Bureaucrats are not happy over Govt Order promoting IPS officer & Junior IAS officers to the same rank
Government’s orders promoting and empanelling 25 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers of the 1996 batch, and two Indian Police Service (IPS) officers of the 1994 batch, to the rank of additional secretary, while posting one 1990-batch IPS officer to an equivalent designation has created a gap of six years between parallel ranks in both services.
Meanwhile, a 1995-batch Indian Cost Accounts Service (ICAS) officer and an Indian Forest Service (IFoS) officer of the 2000 batch have also been promoted as additional secretaries.
