In a letter addressed to all District Magistrates vide No. 855(19)-SE(Pry)/10M-87/2010, dated 11-11-2010 the School Education Department has asked for deployment of Executive Magistrates at all levels for conduct of DPSC election, for which DI of Schools has been appointed as Returning Officer. The Department has also instructed the Executive Magistrates to comply with 14-point requirements which are normally taken care of by the Sector Officers in a General Election. The DI of Schools will pay Rs. 300 to each Executive Magistrate to perform his 'election duties'.
The deterioration in the state administration has not been noticed ever before. A Department does not know about the duties and function of Executive Magistrate, neither does it know as to how can an Executive Magistrate be instructed. Its out an out a unprecedented, derogetory and illegal instruction. All WBCS (Exe) officers should bring it to the notice of the District Magistrate and deny it to get into all and sundry of internal departmental activities.
