If I were the Home Minister and Police Commissioner : Spray cold water on the anarchist, withdraw the entire police and force media out. Kajri and gang are only playing to the media which is carrying the news all over India. Even a monkey starts dancing when it sees a crowd.

No suspension at the whims of any minister

The Unnecessary crisis built by an errant minister demanding suspension of police officers is abuse of the process of governance. Surfers in this column had roundly condemned the suspension of an SDM in UP and two senior officers in Haryana. Suspension is not an instrument for massaging the ego of a rogue MLA/MP/Minister/CM or bureaucrat. It can't and should never be used excepting for good and sufficient reason. The whole civil society campaign is for transparent government. What the Delhi law Minister did, and aggravated further by repeatedly trying to justify it, was disappointing. The police officers should not be "humiliated" for the orders of the minister, lacking proper authority, given on the spot were not carried out. Unless public servants are supported for standing up to the authorities for unlawful orders, we will be inviting anarchy of a kind that its votaries even don't understand. Inquire by all means, punish for failure to perform lawful duty if found liable, but don't do so simply to "fix/humiliate/teach a lesson" to public servants. The errant minister has imposed too heavy a fine on his newbie party and compromised its further prospects completely.

No political backing, no scope

It is very useful site for updating ourselves. But sometimes it creates confusion and irritates me by reading such news.

It is unfortunate that the person who is very sincere, gentle and knowledgeable like G Gopalkrisna, the most senior ED who has worked in Department of Banking Supervision as CGM-I/C and now taking care as on Executive Director, is not being considered for the post of Dy. Governor. Instead, the people junior to him have been short listed who never worked in DBS. This is the classic case of nepotism , favoritism and casteism in our country. I think, GUV and FM are only interested in granting New banks licenses and therefore they want only there people of their state, regions. That is why India will never improve. I feel very sorry about Gopalkrisna, ED who does not have any political backing. Shame.

Cashless treatment in CGHS empanelled hospitals

This topic is very much in discussion among government employees. The Prime Minister of this country or the PMO is not at all bothered to find out from Ministry of Health & FW that why this matter is hanging so long and why payment to hospitals are not made unless the government wants to withdraw the facility and blame hospitals for withdrawing cashless facility. As per media nearly 600 crores has to be paid by the government for the treatment given to CGHS beneficiaries. Hundred of crores can be spend in organizing rallies, mahotsavas, birth day, marriages, providing subsidies etc.but not for treatment of CGHS beneficiaries. I think the matter has already been dragged too much and now it should immediately be sorted out at the highest level otherwise specially pensioners are going to suffer. A system is running that is also being stopped. Only negative approach is working in govt. now a days. It looks people like Mr. Arvind Kejriwal is needed in every sphere to change the system as no one is bothered to see sufferings of retired people. God bless them.

Joke of the year !

There couldn't be a bigger joke than saying that "IRS officers are eminently suited for sensitive and citizen service delivery positions". The citizen-unfriendly procedures and attitudes of the income tax department and officers are infamous and every taxpayer will loudly vouch for that. And Kejriwal himself was a victim of the hounding by the senior officials of the department asking him to pay up lakhs of rupees for a training he had undergone and various other proceedings before he was finally allowed his VRS. Kejriwal was unhappiest when he was with the IRS and could show his potential only when he quit it!
