Bengaluru: The IFS officers who do not mind to protect the forest are not leaving the capital Bangalore and going to other areas. Apart from the department, they lobbying for administrative posts of corporations and boards.
There are many IFS officers in Technology Department, Corporation, Boards Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer posts. Some IFS officers also hold two or three posts. This is illegal. In addition, deserving people in technology and corporate boards are not getting promoted.
As per All India Services (AIS) rules, a total of 100 IFS posts are allotted to the state. Out of this, 20 per cent to the Center and 25 per cent to the State Government posts of IFS officers can be deputed in loan service.
There are 39 IFS officers in various posts of Corporation Boards including State Technology, IT, E-Governance, Food Corporation, Animal Husbandry University. Central offices of elephant and tiger schemes should be located at the appropriate place for the respective scheme. However, such offices are set up in Bangalore and IFS officers are functioning.
Everyone is saying that there is a shortage of staff in the forest department. But the IFS officers are taking interest in other departments than the forest department and are getting posts. Being in our department, it is the duty of senior officers to encourage all categories of staff. However, they lobbied to stay in Bangalore and got posts in corporate boards. A senior officer of the forest department informed that they have created posts in some places and established themselves there.
The posts of Chief Conservator of Forests (CCF) and Chief Vigilante Officers are lying vacant in various regions of the state. But IFS officers don't want to go for these posts. In particular, senior IFS officers are being appointed to corporate bodies, wanting to be in strategic locations. Due to this, there has been a setback in the functioning of the forest department,' the staff complained.
"Senior officials of the forest department should come out of the Bangalore office. The then Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai had said in the golden jubilee program of the Karnataka State Forest Development Corporation that they should go and live in the forest for 15 days a month and encourage the staff there morally. Ordered accordingly. The senior officers did not disclose that order and did not act accordingly,' the forest department staff alleged.
Complaint to Chief Secretary
Some IFS officers have not returned to the parent department even though they have been assigned to the Corporation Boards for tens of years. Action should be taken against such officers including IFS officers who are on loan in large numbers beyond the AIS rules. A letter has been written to Chief Secretary Vandita Sharma requesting that the work should be done in the Forest Department itself. However, no action has been taken," said an official of the forest department who did not want to be named.
