Express News Service
Taking a cue from some of the neighbouring states, the Himachal Pradesh government has decided to post Indian Forest Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) officers in the Secretariat to handle jobs hitherto done by either IAS or senior Himachal Administrative Services (HAS) officers.
Earlier, IFS and IPS officers were posted only as managing directors or chief executive officers of state-owned public sector undertakings.
IFS officer B D Suyal has been posted as Special Secretary (Power), while Amitabh Gautam will be Special Secretary, Finance. Vineet Kumar is now the Managing Director of Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation.
The Himachal Forest Officers’ Welfare Association has thanked Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal for the decision. In another decision, Inspector General of Police Atul Verma has been appointed Special Secretary, Home. The posting orders were issued on Wednesday evening.
Dear friends of Forests and Wildlife
I am here to share my thoughts on Forests n Foresters by debating a wide range of issues on both of these.We r lucky to be in a nation where FOREST and WILDLIFE are given a lot of attention and the FOREST SERVICE is among the prestigious All India Services along with the Administration and Police services.Foresters are an unique clan who can boldly say "NO" to politicians unlike most others powered by FCA and many Court directions.Foresters can proudly talk following having a hobby as a profession.But still many issues like lowering professionalism and morale,inability to adapt to modern technology,lack of camaraderie lurk in the dark ...It's time we debated on these.It's absolutely necessary we talk as we are considered as silent as the woods we manage.
