Why this correction matters
Government posting notifications are official records used by different administrative offices for implementation and correspondence. A correction in an officer’s designation therefore ensures that subsequent records and official communications carry the correct post.
In this case, the latest corrigendum makes it clear that Shri Umashankar Das’s present designation should be recorded as Deputy Project Director, District Rural Development Cell, Purba Medinipur, while his new posting as Sub-Divisional Officer, Jhalda continues as stated in the earlier notification.
The September 3 corrigendum therefore brings the posting record into line with the corrected designation without altering the new place of posting.
