Chennai, Oct 31
The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department has revised the transfer and posting orders of six joint commissioners within six days of issuing the original order, cancelling certain appointments and assigning the officers new places of posting.
The revised proceedings, issued by HR&CE Secretary V Rajaraman on October 29, refer to the department’s transfer order dated October 23 and a communication from HR&CE Commissioner T G Vinay on October 27. The changes were made on administrative grounds.
Under the revised arrangement, K Ramu, who was serving at the Thiruverkadu Devi Karumariamman Temple, has been posted to Chennai Division-1, while K Renugadevi, transferred from Madurai, has been assigned to the Thiruverkadu temple.
K Ramani, who was earlier posted to Chennai Division-3, has been moved to the department headquarters as Joint Commissioner (Verification). P Anitha, transferred from Karaikudi, has been assigned to Chennai Division-3.
P Vijaya, earlier posted to Chennai Division-1, has been shifted to Tiruvannamalai, while C Kumaradurai, who was serving at the headquarters, has been posted to Karaikudi.
The revised order also cancels specific appointments made under the earlier proceedings to accommodate the new postings.
Departmental sources said the officers had not assumed charge at their originally allotted stations. However, the government order does not cite non-joining as the reason for revising the postings.
