Nagpur: The state government on Wednesday restored power to transfer the Range Forest Officers (RFO) and other Group B employees with the Principal of the Head of Forest Conservator (HOFF) and a Committee led by the Head of Forest Conservator (CCFS).
In February 2020, all of this strength was taken by the Minister of Forest then Sanjay Rathod.
After the minister took power over transferring and posting, there was a large lobby for posting options.
Even now, some RFO posts are lying empty despite the availability of officers.
As a new notification, issued by the Main Secretary (Forest) BV Gopal Reddy, now the four member committee led by Hoff will transfer RFO and other groups of employees from one circle to another circle in the state.
The Committee will have a PCCF (Wildlife), PCCF (Social Forestry) and APCCF (Administration Subordinate Cadre) as another member.
With each other, the four member committee led by the CCF of each circle will have the power to transfer RFO and other Group B employees in a circle.
This committee will have CCF (wildlife), CF (social forestry), and DFO (planning) as its members.
With Rathod Lost, PCCF & CCFS Get Back Strength to Move RFO
