ORDER: In the G.O. read above, the post of Chief Architect in the grade of Superintending Engineer in the office of the Chief Architect, Madras, was upgraded into that of Chief Engineer and he is allowed to draw the pay scale of Chief Engineer. The Chief Architect, Madras has been subsequently made as Head of Department in the G.O. second read above. 2. The Tamil Nadu Official Architects Association has represented that consequent on the upgradation of the post of Chief Architect in the Superintending Engineer into that of Chief Engineer, there is a gap between Chief Architect, Madras (Chief Engineer’s grade) and Senior Architect (Executive Engineer Grade) and this may be removed by reviving the then post of Chief Architect in the Superintending Engineer grade which is kept in abeyance. 3. The Government have examined the request of the Tamil Nadu Official Architects Association. As the permanent post of Chief Architect, Madras in the grade of Superintending Engineer was upgraded in G.O. (Ms) No. 296, PW, dated 13.2.84 and Thiru S. Murugesan was appointed as Chief Architect, the question of reviving that post does not arise. The Government consider that in between Chief Architect and Senior Architect one Superintending Engineer level post is necessary to assist the Chief Architect, Madras. They have accordingly decided that one of the four posts of Senior Architects in the Office of the Chief Architect be upgraded and the post may be designated as Deputy Chief Architect, Madras. 4. The Government accordingly, upgrade one of the permanent posts of Senior Architect in the office of Chief Architect in the scale of Rs. 1800-110-2900 to that of Deputy Chief Architect, Madras in the scale of Rs. 2500-125-3375 for a period of one year from the date of filling up of the post or till the necessity ceases whichever is earlier.
