It is noteworthy that earlier the state government had decided to impose a complete ban on transfers of government employees and officers from November 21 last year. After November 21, only those transfer orders were being issued which were valid under Para 8 of the Guiding Principles of Transfers. In this, transfer orders are issued only in administrative need or emergency. Even before this, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had given powers to cabinet ministers to make transfers of Group C and Group D in their departments.
