Revenue officials protest transfer of 10 tahsildars
tnn | Mar 2, 2019, 04:33 ISTCoimbatore: More than 50 revenue officials, under the aegis of Tamil Nadu Revenue Officers’ Association, staged a protest in front of the district collectorate here on Friday, urging the Election Commission of India (ECI) to withdraw transfer of 10 tahsildars to Tirupur and Nilgiris districts.
Earlier, based on the instruction of the Election Commission of India, district collector K Rajamani had transferred six male tahsildars in the district to the Nilgiris and four women tahsildars to Tirupur district.
According to a source, some of the transferred tahsildars are likely to go on long leave to condemn the move.
District president of the association, S Sundara Raman, led the protest and said the sudden transfers would affect the election work in the district. “They should have been transferred within the district, instead of to other districts. ECI should withdraw their transfers immediately.”
Sundara Raman said the revenue officers would boycott the work until March 4.
