Itanagar, Jul 21: A team of Directorate Service Officers’ Association of Arunachal (DSOAA) called on the Chief Secretary Manish Gupta at his office chamber at Civil Secretariat and placed their grievance against the government’s move for encadrement of Director posts to APCS cadre.
​Led by DSOAA president and SJETA Director Yumlam Kaha and DoTCL Deputy Director and DSOAA General Secretary Wangton Lowang, the delegation met the CS and expressed their opposition at the move of the state government to examine the feasibility of encadrement of ten-line Departmental Director posts of Rural Development, Industry, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Civil Aviation, SIRD, Indigenous Affairs, DoTCL, DOKA, Land Management and Lokayukta.
​While highlighting that the state cabinet of May 2017 had approved for de-cadrement of Director posts from APCS cadre and encadrement to departmental officers, the DSOAA delegation urged the chief secretary to stop the move of the Personnel Department to examine the feasibility of encadrement of the posts of Departmental Directors to APCS cadre, which they said, would be against the interest of natural justice and fair play to departmental officers.
​Highlighting the grievances of the departmental officers, team DSOAA apprised the chief secretary that many of the departmental line officers had been recruited by the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission and in the zone of promotion to Joint Directors and Directors in their respective departments. ‘The departmental officers who had put in years of dedicated service in their department hoping to reach the post of Director would be demoralized and demotivated in case the post of Director is encadred to APCS,’ the DSOAA memorandum said.
​Meanwhile, the Chief Secretary gave a patient hearing to the delegation and assured to do justice in the matter. 
​The DSOAA delegate also comprised departmental officers of Industry, Skill Development& Entrepreneurship, Rural Development, Land Management among others.
