Sruthi P.P., working as Pharmacist Grade-2 at Erimayur Government Ayurveda Dispensary, Palakkad district, under the Indian Systems of Medicine Department, by relaxing existing rules and providing first priority for the vacancy reserved for inter-district transfer in Kasaragod district. AYUSH (A) Department. G.O.(Rt) No.363/2026/AYUSH dated Thiruvananthapuram, 20-07-2026. References: 1. Government Order G.O.(P) No.36/91/P&ARD dated 02.12.1991. 2. Letter No. DISM/2688/2025-E2 dated 31.01.2026 from the Director of Indian Systems of Medicine. 3. Letter No. DCKNR/2826/2026-H3 dated 18.03.2026 from the District Collector, Kannur. Order: The Director of Indian Systems of Medicine, vide reference (2), had submitted the application of Smt. Sruthi P.P., working as Pharmacist Grade-2 at Erimayur Government Ayurveda Dispensary, Palakkad, for inter-district transfer to Kasaragod district with a recommendation to relax existing rules. It was reported that her elder sister, Reshmi P.P., is autistic, her younger brother, Adarsh P.P., is a kidney transplant recipient, and her 76-year-old father requires care, and that a vacancy exists in Kasaragod district. 2. Although Smt. Sruthi P.P. joined service on 09.11.2023 and has not completed 5 years of service in the district, and despite the existence of applications from senior employees, the Government, considering the compassionate circumstances, decided to treat this as a special case and grant the transfer as recommended by the Director. 3. Based on the report from the Kannur District Collector (Ref 3), it was confirmed that the applicant resides with her elderly parents in Karivellur village, Payyannur taluk. Her parents are elderly and struggle to manage the household, especially with an autistic daughter and a son who underwent a kidney transplant. The presence of the applicant would provide significant relief. The District Collector recommended considering this under compassionate grounds by relaxing rules. 4. The Government has examined the matter in detail and hereby grants permission for the inter-district transfer of Smt. Sruthi P.P. to Kasaragod district, relaxing existing rules and granting her first priority for the vacancy. (By order of the Governor) Dr. Sharmila Mary Joseph, Principal Secretary.
