DDA should cancel draw
It is an admitted fact now that a fraud on massive scale had occurred in the recent DDA draw. The disqualification of fake numbers will not serve the purpose. Even a layman can tell that if one number is tempered in a computerized draw, the complete series is bound to change. Further, the software happens to be developed by DDA with the help of IIT-students and professors and not by the government organisation like NIC. This necessitates the DDA to cancel the draw. The draw should be held again with a certified software from NIC(National Informatics Centre) with the complete data of applicants already available with DDA.

Constitutional vs extra-constitutional discrimination

The Constitution of India provides for positive discrimination in favour of the under- privileged people of the society, in form of certain advantages, to enable them to compete with others placed advantageously and to have, to some extent, a level playing field. But in Indian bureaucracy unduly dominated (ruled) by the IAS, this privileged service, by manipulating the system and misusing their proximity to the powers that be ,has successfully institutionalized negative discrimination ( in favour of this powerful and privileged service) by taking for themselves, all sorts of benefits( including post retirement jobs in powerful and high income positions) in form of higher pay called slight edge ( slight edge over unprivileged ), unwritten reservation on almost all higher posts in ministries ( Additional Secretary and above), to name a few. Is all this for ensuring a level playing field to the officers of other services in which there is no dearth of committed and competent people though not seen by the IAS due to their selfish and vested interests? Today's bureaucracy swears and works in the name of 'public interest', but in reality the public is missing leaving only (vested) interests. In 'Prajatantra' there is no 'Praja' but only 'Tantra', the so called Steel (steal!!) frame

Strike by oil sector PSU officers.
It is earnest request to the media that misinformation spread by the media (specially electronic media) about pay & perks drawn by officers should be set right by giving true facts with documentary proof and should be compared by other government employees / bureaucrats. Image should be restored as it was said in one of the forums in Lok Sabha TV channel that after armed forces, OIL sector is the life line of the country.

Many PSUs are financially mismanaged

Hold CAG also responsible
Currently, if a scam/misappropriation is detected in Government, the Audit department under CAG is not questioned at all. Taking a lesson from the conduct of PWC in Satyam case, why should there not be a provision for holding the CAG also responsible for any misappropriation going undetected.

No body has guts to touch an American company
No body has the guts to stop or touch an American company especially in India We are cowards good only at best talking dialogues and nothing beyond that. When the whole country was boiling against 26/11, we had own minister absolving the perpetrators of the crime inside Parliament and the party which claimed to be the one that claims to have got India its independence (although it had enslaved the country now beyond redemption to all the countries in the world) not even censuring the minister for fear of votes. The government, or for that matter any regulatory body, will not have and does not have the guts to touch even the shoes of the American company.
