Taking cognizance of news reports on long delays in granting promotions to officers in the Telangana Prohibition and Excise department, Minister of the department V. Srinivas Goud has requested Special Chief Secretary (Commercial Tax and Excise) to issue a Government Order (G.O.) within 24 hours effecting promotions to all of the eligible officers as approved in the Department Promotion Committee (DPC). It was reported in these columns that there is deep discontent among several officers in the department over the delays in granting promotions. Pointing out a G.O. issued on May 6, 2021 granting promotion for only 12 people, sources questioned why others were not promoted though many seniors have been waiting for it. Highly placed sources told The Hindu that the Minister cited the report published in these columns in the note addressed to the Special Chief Secretary on Sunday.
