What people say about us!
This site is a great platform for All India Service officers to know
about what is happening or what is about to happen in the corridors
of power. And as an aspirant of the civil services this site is extremely
informative and teaches about how actually things function. I read it
on daily basis and I must say your sources are very strong and mostly
correct.

POLITICS
There is a wave of Narendra Modi!
Heard from a veteran bureaucrat -After JP, I have seen wave of Narendra
Modi after 35 years . Congressmen, however will dismiss this view. General
feeling however will endorse the view of bureaucrat.
Aam Admi and Rahul Gandhi
If Rahul Gandhi is so serious about having MPs and MLAs from among 'Aam
Aadmi' (the crowd listening to him), will he ensure that his party sets
a precedence wherein none is allowed to contest more than twice, or
at the most thrice, irrespective of the fact whether he wins or not.
Only then, the newcomers will get chance. Pointing to people in the
crowd, Rahul is these days often heard saying that he wanted MLAs and
MPs to come from there (crowd). But how is it possible if the same old
faces are repeated every time when it comes to going to the elections
?
Will PM go to Srilanka ?
There are reports that the PM may or may not go to Colombo for the Commonwealth
summit. He should not especially as UK has downgraded its attendance
to Prince Charles. If the Indian Foreign Minister along with M.Karunanidhi
, wheelchair and all, attend the summit it would convey India's displeasure
as well as not isolate Srilanka.

Suffered for folly of others
The CISF needs most honest and to the point and good outstanding officer
in such forces. Lobbying with the help of politicians is bad and does
not help the suitable person to come up for the post. So who is the
man most suitable for the post ? He is not related to me. I observed
many officers and found only Bhaskar Chatterje, a DG level person of
Rajasthan cadre, is as perfect match for DG CISF. He was considered
for DG BPRD but some politics marred his chance and the good man was
spoiled by the folly of others for no fault of his own.

Need to go to the CGHS dispensary ?
If the Central Government servant started controlling their diet, avoid
alcohol and due regular exercise, then there would be no need to go
to the CGHS dispensary or hospital face the insults. To begin with we
should take an 'omen' that nobody would hanker for Diwali gift containing
sweets and dry fruits. No private sector and public sector should be
allowed to enter into the premises of the Government offices during
the ensuing Diwali. The Security and CISF security should ensure this.
Better the health of the Government employee and their family member
more the output will be in the office. Strict vigil should be carried
out in the notorious Ministries like Power, Coal, Petroleum, Railways,
Industries, Steel and Fertilizers.

About CGHS discussion
Watching comments on working of CGHS dispensaries, I am happy that
we government servants have realized the importance of delivering the
service. There is no doubt that service needs improvement. However,
in this case as we are at receiving end we are making noise and that's
why it hurts us. What about service we deliver when we are at serving
end ? Pensioners also must realize that, it is the legacy which we left
that we are getting taste of.

Horrible experience
The experience of obtaining medical care at Dwarka wellness Centre
is horrible, mainly due to the vast number of population it caters from
an unhygienic and dilapidated small house building often without electricity
supply, absence of waiting area, insensitive CMO and officials. It is
pathetic situation. Who cares in the Government!

What CGHS wishes for pensioners ?
From the comments about the CGHS, it seems they want the pensioners
to die early so as to lighten their burden.

Provide the basis for demanding the further fee
The appellant wanted to the know reasons for the repeated violation
of damaging the daks, reasons for not delivering "Protect
Cover", copy of delivery sheet and other related information.
The appellant stated that the postal authorities are not giving
proper service and his letters are delivered late and sometimes
in a torn condition due to which he is facing great hardship.
He added that the respondent vide their letter dated 23/04/2012
had demanded a fee of Rs.70/- for supply of copy of the enquiry
report but without giving the calculations as provided under Section
7(3) of the RTI Act and the balance information was also not provided.
The CIC directed the public information officer (PIO) to provide
a copy of the enquiry report, free of cost, to the
appellant within 7 days from the date of receipt of the order.
Further, a compensation by an amount of Rs.750/- was provided
for the inconvenience and detriment caused to him under section
19(8)(b) of the RTI Act.
Comments
As per rules, whenever an envelope is damaged/torn the postal
authorities are required to put the contents in a separate envelop
and also record the damaged condition but most of the post office
are not complying with the regulations. The PIO is expected to
provide the basis of demanding fee in the letter asking the applicant
to deposit the fee.
Functioning of CGHS has improved
CGHS functioning on this forum. I still feel it has considerably
improved in the recent past. The following more improvements are
required. The doctors available in each dispensary are normally
4 including CMO, one more needed i.e. strength should be 5 in
each dispensary. All doctors be housed in one big hall with red
light outside which becomes green if any of the doctors is free,
so that patient can move in for consultation. CMO should also
see the patients. This way you would never find rush/waiting in
any dispensary. All others/supporting staff be housed in one big
hall. Open counter for the staff with medicines stored on the
back, whosoever is free can attend to the patients requirement
like registration of patients, giving of medicines available in
the dispensary, giving indented medicines. There will never be
rush here too. Tea time and lunch time be fixed in staggered way
both for doctors/staff. All administrative work of CMO be done
in the last one hour before the close of dispensary, I find there
are no patients in the dispensary during the last hour. Above
all better infrastructure i.e. computers/fast internet etc. CMO
should be liberal and given more powers for referring patients
to panel hospitals. In the absence of these improvements CGHS,
whatever has been done so far is insignificant. Hope DGHS is listening.

Don't outsource CGHS
Even though, CGHS is a system providing service to the employees.
If it is out sourced, employees will get nothing.
Sudhir Kumar
Insensitive CGHS doctors
The CGHS doctors these days are not feeling the pulse, touching
etc. their patients. As if some 'choot' ki bimari na lag jaye'.
These doctors went in their feelings of the obnoxious atmosphere
at home on the patients. Government has given them education,
provided them job, paying them salary and provided residential
accommodation. Medical being a noble profession, the CGHS doctors
are expected to be more courteous towards their patients.
