CBEC Commissioners' transfer order is back on rail; Many 'giants' continue to be on trail !

NETIZENS may recall the instruction coming from the topbrass to recast the CBEC Commissioners' transfer order as per some new formula which may bail out many 'giants' who have been camping in the metros. Since FM was scheduled to catch up a few overseas appointments the fresh order was expected to take some time. Now that the FM's programme stands cancelled, one may see the 'wings' of CBEC working overtime to make up for the lost 'distance' and time! A fresh order is almost ready but the problem is its size has not diminished as per the 'Insiders'! It is learnt to be close to a century! However, two important dimensions which were noticed during the making of this order are : First, the Member (P & A) who is a front runner for the Chair of the Chairman looked in complete command. And second, many 'giants' who got scared earlier have got the desired slots but continue to be on the trail to ensure that they are disturbed. Any deadline? It may make it this week or may spill over to next week. Let's be on the trail from today!
