Even many HSG-I posts have also been downgraded to LSG Cadre. As a result, the existing LSG officials are now working against many vacant HSG-II and HSG-I posts now downgraded to LSG.
Consequently, the resultant vacancy occurred against LSG cadre due to above arrangement throughout the Circle are forcefully managed by the TSPAs without any officiating pay and allowances to them who are also in the line of promotion to LSG cadre.
