Hyderabad:

Mohammed Jalaluddin Akbar, IFS officer has been posted as Special Officer to the Telangana state Wakf Board.

Jalaluddin Akbar, belonging to 1999 IFS batch, was holding the post of Conservator of Forests (Production), Telangana.

The government on Friday issued orders to transfer him to Minority Welfare department as Special Officer to Board, with immediate effect for a period of one year or until further orders, whichever is earlier, under the provisions of Wakf Act (Central Act 43 of 1995).

However, as per the provisions of the Act, the state government has power to appoint a special officer for a period of six months and not for a period of one year as stated in GO.

After noticing this, the government has decided issue an addendum to the GO.

Jalaluddin Akbar, the first special officer of the Board, earlier served as Buddha Purnima Project director.
