Why no whistleblower in the coal Ministry?
It is a shame that IAS officers in the coal ministry have no ethics and playing the game of the corrupt Ministers. Please wake up before it is too late.

Shashi Desai

Misuse of vehicles
It is not only vehicles are being misused by ministry officials/ministers but also staff. Many PSUs/Banks/autonomous organisations provide staff to ministers/senior officers in an informal arrangement. They are over and above the sanctioned strength These officials though on the pay role of their parent organization ,work in the ministry. Even CVC has resorted to this practice by taking officers on secondment from various organisation!!

S Gopal

Something is better that nothing
You suspend/remove the concerned officials and also do not have the file. Then what ?
As per the Central Secretariat Manual of Office Procedure when the file comes to the Section then the Custodian of it is the Section Officer and the concerned dealing hand. It is only the top officials, who are allowed to hob nob with the representatives of the private sector. If the top officials themselves are involved, then you cannot make the lower level employees the scapegoat. Earlier there use to be a system of having a Daftry category employee in Section, who use to properly keep the files in an order and also stitch the files when due. Government has dispensed with Daftry. These days the Section also don't have peons to stalk up the files in an order in Almirahs. The best thing would be to immediately scan all the files of the Ministry of Coal and load in on the server.

Modi will prove to be the best PM India ever had
That is correct. All these qualities are needed to our PM. But above all, there should not be any super power above him so that he can work effectively. Unfortunately in the Congress culture, the Gandhi family is supreme and all other Congresswalas are their subordinates. Subordinates always look for guidance from their masters and unfortunately in this case, the masters have no proven quality. They are ruling the country purely on the basis of their birth in a particular family. Time has come to change this culture. We need a leader of the likes of Narendra Modi who is a proven and effective leader. Modi should give a little more attention to the minorities. I hope Modi will prove to be the best PM India ever had.

TAIL=PIECE

So very true!!!!!
Kabhi noto ke liye mar gaye,
Kabhi voto ke liye mar gaye,
Kabhi jaat..paat ke naam par mar gaye,
Kabhi aapas me 2 gaz zamin ke liye mar gaye,
Hote aaj Veer Bhagat Singh toh kehte..
Yaar Sukhdev, Hum bhi kin kamino ke liye mar gaye!!!
