Request for Assistance with Transfer Issue
Can any of you guide me to overcome one of the biggest problems I am facing right now? I have received a transfer notice, assigning me to the Kolkata Region for the survey and setup of new branches in Sikkim and Jalpaiguri District, West Bengal. Top management is fully aware that my wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer recently, and her treatment is ongoing at Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute, Guwahati. She is undergoing chemotherapy, which needs to be repeated every 21 days, and we need to care for her throughout this process.
During this critical period, my wife, our two young children, and I are facing significant challenges in treating and curing her cancer. My family needs me the most at this time. I need to stay at my present location to care for my wife and look after the welfare of my two children, aged 4 and 9. Previously, the company did not provide me with any financial support for my treatment after a major accident during official duty in February 2016. My leg has not completely recovered yet, and my current condition restricts my movement.
Considering these circumstances, I requested the company's MD to allow me to work and open new branches by visiting from Guwahati instead of being stationed in the Kolkata Region. However, they have not agreed to my proposal and have asked me to go to Kolkata. I have no issues of fraud or misconduct in the company. I feel harassed and am looking for any solution.

Addressing Harassment Due to Transfer During Wife's Cancer Treatment
