It is true that ITDC is not being run professionally.
It is rather unfortunate that ITDC is in pits once again. This is because of gross mismanagement indulged into at the senior most levels. There is however no doubt that the crop of staff and junior managers has always been an excellent one. Rampant corruption, no delegations, mistrust and babudom are the main reasons for the failure of this organization. The company is a classic example of how a commercial enterprise should not be run. What the company now needs is a CEO who has a very high integrity, is tough, has guts, is a leader of men and also has a commercial acumen. Unfortunately no bureaucrat shall fit this bill and the company appears destined to go the Air India way.

"A foolish thought"
This is regarding comments captioned" A foolish thought" by 'AB'. It is correct to surmise that a Brig. is superior if called upon to assist the DM. It just indicates that the tools & means given to the DM are not adequate to tackle the problem, and that the same with a Brig. are different and found necessary in such a situation. It is neither a comment on DM nor on the Brig. Their roles are quite different. Since the law in India provides for calling the army to aid the District Administration in times of need to maintain public order, this is only interpreted as means to protect the democracy. Neither the DM nor the Brig. are superior to each other. Don't forget that the C.O. of an Military unit is also discharging quasi-judicial functions similar to the DM in respect of all personnel under his command. So how can he be lesser in stature to a DM? In fact, even if the C.O. is a junior officer in rank like Lt.Col or even a Major, he wields the same powers like a DM in respect of men under his command.

A Big Deal !
So what's the big deal - it' s about time that the IPS starts leading their men in battle against the naxalites Instead of issuing directives from the cool confines of their AC offices.

Tail-piece
Really a class analogy..
An Old Story:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed.. The Grasshopper has no food or
shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Indian Version:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and Laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away..
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be Warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled
with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.
Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .
Mayawati states this as `injustice' done on Minorities.
Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.
The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt
support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).
Opposition MPs stage a walkout.. Left parties call for 'Bengal Bandh' in
West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.
CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and
Grasshoppers.
Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the ' Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the
winter.
Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in Educational
Institutions & in Government Services.
The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated by the Government
and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.
Arundhati Roy calls it ' A Triumph of Justice'.
Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice '.
CPM calls it the ' Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden '
Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.
Many years later....
The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley,
100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation somewhere in India,
......AND
As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the grasshoppers,
India is still adeveloping country!!!-
