New type of Kabootarbaji
What Rajaa has written about the Indian Foreign Service on 19th May is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many other maladies affecting our missions abroad. I'll quote just one here.
Officers of diplomatic ranks are allowed to take servants from India. Though Government pays for their airfare, monthly payments to the domestic help are by the officers themselves. There are numerous cases in which the domestic help did not return with the officers. They were absorbed against the vacancy of 'local' staff. This is not only against the existing instructions but is also, in many cases, against the provisions of the local rules. Though in most cases it is done as a favour to the person who has worked for the officer for a few years, in some cases, it is a precondition of the person before he is taken to the foreign country. Needless to add that, with such pre-conditions, the monthly payment is at the minimal possible level. Ambassadors are allowed to take two such helps from India. So, double bonanza. A recent Ambassador in Paris could manage to 'adjust' both of his domestic helps against the 'local' posts before coming back to India. What is required is a simple petition in RTI asking for information of (a) all those 'local' employees in various missions / posts who earlier worked as India-based domestic help with an Indian diplomatic officer; and (b) list of all such domestic helps who went with the officers but did not come back with them (and their present status). This is also a type of 'kabootarbaji' practiced by those, from top to bottom, who are supposed to prevent these. And it overburdens the embassies with useless employees for many more years to come.

Timings of Government offices -version
Remarks by non-descript so-called officer about the timings of Government offices in 30th May edition is totally rubbish, objectionable and unacceptable especial the concluding remarks, I repeat. The staff drawing salary of 20,000/- or so, work in the entire month which can be done by any person hired from market in Rs. 4000/- Per Month.
Suppose staff also comment on the remarks saying that 'if staff can be hired for Rs. 4,000/- from the market then such officer can be as well be hired for less than amount with considerable saving to Government'. Try it and you would see. With due respect all capable officers. Please mind sometime word has equal and opposite reaction.

Petrol prices should be raised
This is with refernce to Mohd. Koyas comment on Petrol price which I disgree and strongly advocate for raise in petrol price on following count;
i) Persons owning bigger cars should need to be levies 50% more than existing price at the spot in filling stations by employing suitable charging arrangement so that no such owners escapes of thsi levy.
ii) By raising the price of Petrol there would be marked tendency of public to shun their vehicle and adopt either car pooling or take public transport despite the fact that the quality of public transport is yet in pathetic condition and may come to the good standard in time to come, hope fully soon. Besides , car pooling practice may also be in force in the Government offices too.
iii) The increase in price of petrol should spare those who trek 2 wheelers as these categories largely belongs to business category and lower middle class. This way congestion on roads will be eased and use of petrol/diesel which is becoming scarce vital natural resource would be lessened markedly.
iv) It should be made mandatroy to ply only one vehicle per owner/day instead of using 3-4 cars by the single household/ affluent class/day. A suitable mechanism should be developed by the transport authority for this purpose. If they don't have any idea the practice ongoing in 'Argentina' can be adopted in India.
India can not afford so much of private cars on the road and the energy guzzled by private vehicles for non economic purposes can be profitably used for economic upliftment.
