CHAPTER 1 - Border Roads Organisation

RESTRICTED
Posting/Transfer Army Personnel
106. Army personnel are authorised to this organisation from various Corps and Regiments of
Army. Their posting/transfer are being issued by their respective Records as per posting policy
applicable to them. Whenever any army person is posted out from GREF units/formations, he
will be relieved/despatched only after his relief has reported. In this connection HQ DGBR
letter No. 12217/Army/DGBR/EG2 of 08 Nov 93 refers.
107. Copy of posting orders in respect of Army personnel are not being endorsed to GREF
Records by respective Army Records in many cases owing to which the correct statistical data
of Army personnel can not be maintained. In order to overcome this lacunae, Projects will
forward a quarterly report to GREF Records as on 31 Mar, 30 Jun, 30 Sep and 31 Dec
containing the details of dues in/out duly incorporating posting orders recd by them from
respective Army Records. A copy of movement order will also be endorsed to GREF Records
for updating records. The details of Army personnel will also be shown in monthly change
report separately.
Request/Pressure for Posting from Politicians/VIPs
108. A large number of requests are received from various politicians/VIPs for posting of
subordinate staff. This hampers implementation of laid down posting policy and leads to
frustration amongst subordinates. Whenever such request is received, a communication to this
effect will be sent to the concerned CE to ascertain in writing whether the individual has made
the request to CE through proper channel. If the case is in affirmative, the original reply
alongwith the comments of CE regarding action taken on his request will be sent to HQ DGBR
and GREF Records for necessary action. In case the reply is negative, disciplinary
administrative action against the individual will be initiated. An endorsement to this effect will
also be made on the Index Card of the concerned individual by GREF Records for future
reference. Reply to the VIP will be sent separately. In this context, HQ DGBR letter No,.
12520/PP/DGBR/EG2 dated 05 May 1994 may be referred.
Conclusion
109. Posting policy should be seen in totality. It is our attempt not only to be transparent, fair
and just but also to be received/seen as such. These instructions have been formulated with a
view to give equal opportunity to all the personnel to serve in different areas. Personnel of BRO
have All India Service liability in the matter of posting and are bound to be posted to any place
in the specified areas as per service/sector profile keeping in view the administrative and
functional requirements. It should, therefore be impressed upon all Ranks that redressal of
grievances if any, in this regard should be sought through departmental channels. The
instructions contained in the posting policy should be implemented in letter and spirit to achieve
greater satisfaction level amongst the subordinate staff and to discourage a section of our
personnel, who have a tendency to resort to recommendation from VIPs/Politicians, to obtain
