PANAJI: North Goa collector Nila Mohanan IAS, has been transferred to the secretariat where she will function as the education and civil aviation secretary. Former passport officer Agnelo A J Fernandes, who is currently the commissioner of labour and employment, will replace Mohanan, as per an order issued by under-secretary (personnel II) Shashank Thakur, on Friday.
Sources said deputy chief minister Francis D'Souza, who holds the revenue portfolio, had demanded that chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar transfer Mohanan from the North Goa collectorate after she refused to succumb to political pressure.
D'Souza, when contacted, denied that he had sought Mohanan's transfer. He said he had just returned from Rome and learnt about the development through the media.
Earlier this year, the deputy chief minister had kicked up a fuss over being allotted five secretaries for each of his portfolios and over the transfer of officers from his department without his consent. He had threatened not to continue as a minister and said he would sit as an MLA and do party work instead, if he wasn't consulted on matters. D'Souza had also said that he was not consulted on the transfer of officers, specially revenue personnel, from his department.
Parsekar had later met him personally to pacify him and voided the transfers in keeping with D'Souza's demands.
Mapusa deputy collector Pundalik Khorjuvekar had also been transferred on D'Souza's request.
In other transfers ordered on Friday, director of administration of the Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMC) T S Sawant, will replace Fernandes as labour and employment commissioner. Additional collector, sub-district, Bardez, Sanjiv Gadkar, will be the new director of administration at the GMC and will hold additional charge as NRI director until further orders.
Director of sports and youth affairs V M Prabhudesai, will hold charge as Sports Authority of Goa (SAG) executive director, in addition to his current duties.
Additional collector-II, North, Surendra F Naik, will hold charge of the post of additional collector, sub-district, Bardez in addition to his present duties.
