CGHS mess by Government of the day
It is very clear that the government of the day wants to destroy even
the present lop-sided CGHS facility. Dr Harsh Vardhan has no idea of
the problem faced by central government employees nor he wants to know
or interact with the beneficiaries. It is better to have a non-medical
Health Minister, who at least put up his mind, interact with DGHS officers
before taking some major policy decision for the CGHS beneficiaries.
BJP will definitely feel the music during the Delhi state elections
from CGHS employees both from serving and pensioners. By the way he
should send some of them to Scotland and see how the government takes
care of all citizens. At least it will open his narrow and closed mind
set.
Ravinder
Biometric system in Income Tax department
IT Department is one of the living examples of officers and staff coming
late to office every day. If you go to any of the Aaykar Bhawans in
India you can see officers and staff coming late by 1 to 3 hours and
going back home after 4 PM. Any officer who tries to enforce discipline
is subjected to Dharna etc by Union members. This troubles the tax payers.
Further it is a sheer waste of taxpayers' money if the employees take
full day pay but work for half a day. I hope the revenue secretary and
finance minister lake action and make biometric attendance mandatory
otherwise I will file a complaint with Hon. Prime minister of India.

Don't raise retirement age of CHS Doctors or Babus
Hire fresh talent at less than 1/2 the expenditure. This is what Margret
Thatcher did in UK 20 years ago with excellent results.
Vin
Withdrawal of staff posted on loan basis
Of late, it has become vogue to post staff on loan basis in Central
Ministries and in its subsidiaries from Central Public Sector Undertakings
(CPSUs)for vested interests, which is not a good sign from any angle
for Modi Ji's Government. May I request Govt.through this website to
withdraw CPSU loan-staff from all the Central Ministries.
Hem Virdi be given chance
If justice is criteria then R S Virdi - GM/NF Rly - who was not considered
on account of wrong doings , should be given the chance.

Information related to the vehicle which caused an accident
The son of the appellant suffered a serious road accident and
became handicapped. The appellant sought information regarding
registration details of a vehicle No.DL8C9080 which was involved
in the road accident to help him to claiming compensation and
other actions against the owner of the vehicle. The Central Information
Commission (CIC) observed that such cases have to be treated as
extraordinarily urgent and as the victim is alive, he needs to
fight for survival and recover from the injuries. The CIC ruled
that the information sought by the appellant is very vital and
pertains to life and liberty of the victim, therefore, the answer
has to be provided within 48 hours. The CIC issued show cause
notice to PIO why penalty should not be imposed for not providing
the information within the prescribed time period.
Comments
Many public authorities are unaware of the provision whereby
an applicant can seek information under the "life and liberty"
clause and the same has to be provided within 48 hours. A large
number of organisations are ill equipped to deal such an application.
This case law provides an idea of what may be covered under the
definition of "life and liberty".
