Why These Transfers Happened
These postings connect with each other in a chain. When Shri Prateek Jhajharia moved to Army Postal Services on deputation, his post needed a replacement. That opened a series of adjustments across Delhi, West Bengal, Telangana, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh circles. Two posts, in South Bengal Region and Hyderabad Region, have also been redeployed to new locations as part of this order.
Key Points to Note
- All transfers are effective immediately and remain valid until further orders.
- A Hindi version of this order will follow separately.
- Charge reports for each officer will be sent in due course.
- The order also directs redeployment of two posts: DPS, South Bengal Region to DPS (Mails & BD), West Bengal Circle, Kolkata, and DPS, Hyderabad Region to DPS (Mails & BD), Karnataka Circle, Bengaluru.
Who Received This Order
This order has been circulated to the Secretary (Posts), Postal Services Board members, all Chief Postmasters General, the Rafi Ahmed Kidwai National Postal Academy, all Postal Training Centres, DDG Establishment, and GM (CEPT), Mysuru, for uploading on the India Post website, among other offices.
Final Thoughts
This is a routine but detailed round of officer transfers within the Indian Postal Service. It shows how one officer’s deputation can lead to a wider chain of postings across different circles. Readers who follow India Post notifications and circulars can expect similar transfer orders from time to time as vacancies and redeployments are managed across the country.
