Girija Vaidyanathan To Be Transferred?

After the complaints on the Chief Secretary Rama Mohana Rao, Girija Vaidyanathan replaced him. She is one of the no-nonsense top bureaucrats in the state. Girija is the strict follower of rules and for this reason, she had been expected to the top post during the reign of “Jayalalithaa.” Within a couple of months of her promotion as the chief secretary, the sincere officer is supposed to be transferred, says the report. It is heard that posting and transferring the officers are handled by the non-government people and their orders are clearly accomplished by the respective departments. K Shanmugam, an IAS will be replaced for Girija. But, a source close to the secretariat says that EPS doesn’t want to transfer a bureaucrat like Girija in this desperate situation. Shanmugam has a strong political support and hence the transfer of Girija, a source leaked.
