Status of Hyderabad ?
State of Telengana is on anvil. Question is about status of Hyderabad.
It is to be noted that in last 20 years Hyderabad has undergone huge
transformation culturally, economically and demographically. Today it
is a totally cosmopolitan city. It is the fourth largest financial centre
of the country after Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru. It is definitely ahead
of Chennai because of software. Authorities should therefore ensure
that neutral status of Hyderabad is maintained. Best way to do that
would be to declare the 625 sq km GHMC of Hyderabad as Union Territory.

Hype to the issue ?
It appears that the media and associations are giving hype to the issue.
Durga Shakti has done her job as deemed appropriate to her as a probationer
and in the due course of learning as IAS probationer . The media and
Associations ( toothless IAS associations) have unnecessarily played
hoax and turned the anger of the CM against her and watching the musings.
Why don't you all stop this. She even not come out in media, she hasn't
opposed , nor defended , she is equally flabbergasted as a young lady
probationer . I hope the CM is matured enough not to fall in trap of
the wind mill IAS officers who would be probably trying to corner the
young CM and watch him in the issue. The media as usual is trying to
give an color of politics and in turn probably fulfilling the desires
of the parties who are against young CM . Wake up my dear CM and take
a lenient kind view on Durgashakti . And try to know what she has to
say. Don't get played by the crowd. that would make you a future statesman.

It doesn't augur well for India
Rajan has been with IMF an organization known to owned by select few.
Rise of dollar coupled with selection of Rajan will mean India will
lose its independent currency to outsiders. Those who head IMF and federal
reserve are citizens of Israel known to keep all western nations under
their debt slavery.

Best choice
I compliment the Prime Minister in choosing Dr Raghuram Rajan, unarguably
the best choice. Indian economy will be in safe hands. I am confident
of his ability to steer it clear through the turbulence, despite the
contradictory goals of pushing economic growth while arresting the slide
of the rupee

Disclosure of IPR of government servants
Information regarding Immovable Property Return (IPR) of two officers
of MMTC was denied under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act claiming
it to be personal information, the disclosure of which has no
relationship to any public activity or interest and disclosure
will cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of the individual.
The Commission upheld the order of PIO holding that the appellant
has failed to establish any larger public interest, which warrants
the disclosure of such information.
Comments
The Division Bench of CIC in the case of Shri P.P. Rajeev v. Cochin
Port Trust in case No. CIC/AT/A/2008/00707 held that there cannot
be an omnibus order about the disclosure of all immovable assets
related information of employees of public authorities. The request
for their disclosure will have to be considered on a case by case
basis under the provisions of Sections 8(1)(j) and 11(1) of the
Act.
