Waste of govt money
Government of India and DoPT must see that many State Ministers coming
to Delhi and meeting Central Minister or their own relation or own status
,when they visit to Delhi that don't have any state government work
then why they waste government money. Many state minister never get
a appointment to meet central minister stayed in State guest house in
Delhi. DoPT or any committee must see that why they go to Delhi when
their is no State matter involved in their visit. If such visits are
checked, lot of money can be saved. It can be used for Development of
State and people. Do you agree ?

Discriminatory treatment in CGHS
Direct OPD consultation is allowed in Delhi satellite towns but not
in Delhi. The logic is not clear and best known to babus who controls
CGHS and making the working more worse. When Escorts, Max, Batra has
been provided the land at subsidized rates and court has issued directives
for free treatment of certain percentage for poor peoples. Why the Govt.
is unable to empanel them under CGHS list and CGHS beneficiaries can
take treatment within prescribed CGHS rates. Govt. may allow direct
OPD consultation in private empanelled hospitals by CGHS beneficiary
pensioners at Delhi like in Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad. Government should
take initiatives to make things to work in simple and less complex manner.
Do not complicate things.

Clear case of manipulation
This seems to be a clear case of manipulation. If caste works, seniority
and capability is aside. Is this the way AISs should be made to run

On whom should the penalty be imposed?
Hearing a complaint for delay in providing information, the Central
Information Commission (CIC) noted that the first appellate authority
had directed the Public Information Officer (PIO) to provide the
information. The PIO claimed that though the copy of the order
was endorsed to him, the intelligence officer (subordinate staff)
did not inform him about the order. The PIO requested the CIC
to drop the show cause notice for imposing penalty. The CIC did
not find the explanation satisfactory and held that the burden
of proving that he acted reasonably and diligently shall be on
the PIO under second proviso to section 20. A penalty of Rs. 25,000/-
was imposed on the PIO.
