Senior IAS Prasad Lolayekar Relieved from Goa Duties, Directed to Join Andaman & Nicobar Post Immediately

This action comes in the wake of Mr. Lolayekar’s failure to assume charge of his new post
Indian Masterminds Stories

In a firm administrative move, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has relieved senior IAS officer Mr. Prasad Lolayekar (2014 batch) from his duties in Goa with immediate effect and directed him to report without delay to his new assignment in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

This action comes in the wake of Mr. Lolayekar’s failure to assume charge of his new post, months after his transfer in the September 2024 reshuffle of the AGMUT cadre (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territories). He is not alone in this; another IAS officer, Mr. Sanjit Rodrigues (2013 batch), who was transferred to Ladakh in the same reshuffle, has also not joined his new post yet.

The MHA has reiterated its standing policy that officers must join their new postings within 15 days of the transfer’s effective date. Failure to do so will result in the officer being considered “stand relieved” automatically, regardless of formal handover. The ministry has cautioned that further delays could attract disciplinary action, including debarment from promotions, adverse service entries, and other administrative penalties.

These developments are part of a broader reshuffle in the AGMUT cadre, which saw the transfer of six IAS officers from Goa and the posting of five new officers to the state. The MHA’s decisive stance signals a renewed emphasis on discipline, compliance, and accountability among senior civil servants serving in Union Territories and other parts of the cadre.

This action underscores the Centre’s intolerance for administrative laxity and its intent to ensure that civil servants uphold the integrity and responsiveness expected of India’s top bureaucratic positions.
