Big and influential people started approaching me for them when transfer orders were issued, saying they have known such employees for years. I told them that it would happen this time and we would see next year.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Lal was referring to one of the most commonly known secrets of the city \u2014 the knack of CPWD employees in winning over Lutyens\u2019 influentials who become dependent on them for their comforts, resulting in an equilibrium of convenience that few would like disrupted.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The minister said employees should think of what would benefit all their colleagues and not just themselves. He also urged CPWD staff to put in their best efforts to achieve public good.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Lal said as CM of Haryana, he had introduced a transfer policy for teachers in 2015 . He recalled that during former CM Chaudhary Bansi Lal\u2019s tenure, when all ministers had offices on the fourth floor of the state secretariat, the education minister\u2019s room would be full during \u201ctransfer season\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cI had suggested to the then CM and the education minister in 1996-97 that they should have a transfer policy. Some people paid heed to my suggestion, but said if it was done, people would be unhappy. They said no one would approach influential people with requests for transfers. Aur agar koi political aadmi ke dwar par koi aadmi nehin aayega toh usko roti kaise hazam hogi (If none will approach political leaders for transfers, how would they survive),\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Lal said after the introduction of the transfer policy, people are happy as they don\u2019t depend on anyone\u2019s mercy. The transfers were done in accordance with criteria that had been laid down and a survey showed 93% of teachers were satisfied, the minister added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/minister-manohar-lal-dismantles-central-public-works-departments-delhi-club\/articleshow\/132501502.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manohar Lal Khattar.
