No staff to run new districts
The departments which are facing acute shortage of staff are Stamps and Registration, Agriculture, Animal husbandry, Health, Planning, Panchayat Raj, Rural Development and Education.All these departments are already short of staff.
Hyderabad: With the government making it clear that no fresh recruitments would be made to fill the mandated posts in the new districts, key departments which are already facing severe staff crunch are clueless on how to run the administration once the new districts become operational in October.
The departments which are facing acute shortage of staff are Stamps and Registration, Agriculture, Animal husbandry, Health, Planning, Panchayat Raj, Rural Development and Education.All these departments are already short of staff. Top officials said that each department had forwarded a list of the additional staff that would be required for the effective delivery of services.
For instance, the Panchayat Raj department had requested the government to fill nearly 5000 vacancies at different levels in the districts. But no administrative staff was appointed. As a result, the mandal development offices are functioning with a skeleton staff. The proposal to create 46 new mandals would put heavy burden to run the offices in new districts. While issuing guidelines on new districts, the government has instructed them to depute the existing staff to the new districts by giving promotions.
But with the shortage of staff, it has become a Herculean task, the source said. Similarly, the Stamps and Registration department is functioning with a single digit staff in many offices in the mandal headquarters. In the case of Medical and Health and Education departments, many officials were working in the district offices on deputation from the head office in Hyderabad.
Shortage of staff in the paramedical and diagnostic wings in government-run hospitals already brought the services rendered to the patients to a grinding halt. The shortage of staff in the Planning department has resulted in slowing down of regular surveys works to ascertain the growth rate in the state.
Sources said that several heads of the departments had already brought the issue of staff crunch and difficulties being faced by them in deputing the officials to new districts to the notice of Chief Secretary Rajiv Sharma in the recent meetings held in Hyderabad. The respective departments have also requested to fill all vacancies at the earliest to elude administration crisis in the future.
