Exodus of IAS, IPS officers

A steady flight of senior IAS and IPS officers from Nagaland who have left on deputation to other parts of the country, has left both cadres in a stage of depletion.
Though on paper there is no shortage of IAS and IPS officers , yet the fact remains that direct recruit officers in the ranks of commissioners and IGP of nearly a dozen each, from both cadres have gone out on deputation.
Some of those on deputation have exceeded their three-year tenure while a few have retired from service.
Vacancies to state IAS and IPS cadres are filled by posting probationers in the ratio of fifty percent outsider to fifty percent local , according to authoritative sources.
An interesting situation has arisen whereby senior IAS and IPS officers from outside the state are disinclined to be reverted back.
On the other hand, it is learnt that nearly a dozen senior Naga IAS and IPS officers from each cadre are serving in other states and desire to serve their home state but left cooling their heels. Only a few IAS including from the allied services have been transferred to Nagaland.
Most of the IAS and IPS officers from outside the north east are disinclined to serve in states like Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh which has created in depletion of senior level officers.
A proposal was made to the Centre whereby All India Service Officers “from the north east” and serving outside the region, be given the option for transfer to any of the north eastern states of their choice.
Though the proposal was accepted, it underwent a serious lacuna at the ministry of Personnel and Training through a clerical error.
In 2006, a central notification instead stated that All India Service Officers “belonging to the north east cadres” may be given the option for transfer to any other cadre in the north east.
The issue has evinced a great deal of interest in various circles as to the response of the state government on correcting the lacuna so that senior Naga IAS and IPS officers can opt for transfer to their home state and fill the void created by the exodus of outsiders to their home states.
