Marvya, who posted her letter within the affiliation’s WhatsApp group, stated she was transferred inside 50 days of becoming a member of. “I’ve at all times accepted orders respectfully, however this time I really feel demotivated.” She wrote that subordinates thumped her desk and threatened to get her transferred. “I reported insubordination and hoarding of information, however as an alternative of motion, I used to be eliminated.”
Marvya questioned whether or not an IAS officer could possibly be so weak that subordinates might dictate postings. She requested what she did inside a month to deserve this. “An officer hardly understands the work in a month. But I’ve been humiliated by this switch.”
Marvya added that repeated brief tenures had left her demoralised. “I’ve stored endurance for years, hoping issues would enhance, however now subordinates have began threatening me. At all times conspirators win, and I fail. The system has failed me. In the present day it’s me, tomorrow one other IAS officer would be the goal,” she wrote to the affiliation, which has not reacted to her letter.
