Stop misuse of official tours
It has been observed by me during my service of more than 35 years that now a days most of the tours undertaken by the officers are just to meet their personal requirements, though it is difficult to prove. For these so called official tours the tickets are purchased from the Government funds. Against these tour tickets some of the officers are still getting complimentary tickets for their family members. This is against the spirit of the order issued in the second half of 2008. There appears to be no justification for issue of these complimentary tickets when the Air India is not able to make salary payments to its employees. Will PM/FM/CVC/CMD, Air India and Rahul Gandhi shall make their earnest and sincere effort to ensure that such a misuse is stopped."

PESB should be asked to hunt a new CMD for BHEL
Public Enterprises selection Board (PESB) should be given the responsibility to find out a new & efficient CMD for BHEL, rather than entrusting the task to the search committee. The earlier Minister Santosh Mohan Deb had done much damage to this public sector behemoth by interfering in the PESB's selection process and he is the main culprit for the current ad hoc raj in BHEL. We hope that new Minister Vilas Rao Deshmukh will correct mistakes that were committed by predecessors and BHEL will soon have a full fledged CEO properly selected on merit basis.

Will anybody bother about non IAS cadres?
Inspite of election code , 1976 batch IAS was empanelled . But what about CSS and even other Central Services? Will anybody bother about them? With the Cabinet Secretary getting an extension, these poor cousins can also hope for some redemption. The present Cabinet Secretary is the only impartial officer to have headed the bureaucracy. I hope he keeps up his reputation and gets empanelled officers belonging to CSS and other Central Services.

Kudos to DOPT:
DOPT should be well appreciated for issuing the ACP Order which conveys nothing but takes away the benefit of the earlier 2 ACPs. We , after having in put in 20-25 years of service have been considered an animal only known to DOPT and persons who had drafted this ACP order because of its stupid ineffective contents. On the other hand; contrary to the 6th CPC recommendations; now officers will be entitled to use the mileage points gained from official tour for travelling abroad for their personal visits with family and with regard to LTC the entitlement was only for Economy Class though they are eligible for business class for official tours has been revised and now they are eligible for business class. Kindly let us know whether we non-gazetted staff are in India and ruled by Indians or governed by Britishers or by some other foreigners. Even they would be more sympathetic. We hope so.

It is very difficult for CBI to raid IPS officers
The CBI is headed by an IPS officer hence it is very difficult for it to raid IPS officers. Ombudsman of Karnataka state recently raided and unearthed black money of Rs.250 crore which is the highest accumulation of money by way of bribe by any officer in the Indian history. Further , I am surprised to receive SMS from CBI inviting complaints against Central staff without getting ashamed in Mayawati & Mulayam case before the Supreme Court of India (SCI). IPS officers head the CBI. Hence, it is very difficult for it raid IPS officers.
