Post reshuffle, some TN civil servants await allotment of official cars

Some transferred officials are yet to hand over their vehicles

While the DMK government has undertaken multiple exercises of reshuffling in the bureaucracy over the past month, some of the newly-posted senior officials are waiting for the allotment of official cars. A section of transferred civil servants has retained the cars allotted to them in their previous departments, seeking time to return their vehicles. Officials in the Secretariat assigning vehicles to IAS officers are in a fix due to this. About a dozen officials mostly in senior ranks such as Additional Chief Secretary and Principal Secretary, who were transferred recently, have got relieved from their duties but have retained their cars. Meanwhile, IAS officers posted in their places are waiting to get vehicles.
