" Need for streamlining "

As per DOP&T circulars dt Sept 8 and Dec 29, 2014, the babus are now required to submit immoveable property returns twice every year. One by Jan 31 under Conduct Rules and the other as on March 31 under Lokpal/Lokayukta Acts.The dualty will continue till the position is harmonised.Non-application of mind by DOP&T. Implementation of orders will require extra office space, manhours to manage additional returns besides creating extra fireloads in office buildings across the board.All at cost of public exchequer. It would have been appropriate, had DOP&T exempted the govt. employees from filing the second returns in case of no change in position.

Anamolies

Everybody wants to come up in life. Strange anomalies are quite common in central government. For example, a person who did not pass Matriculation could join as Peon and later after clearing 10th Std. Examinations could go up the ladder. There are instances that in some offices people who joined as peon retired as at least Assistant. But, in some subordinate offices people who enter as direct UDC or Assistant or equivalent posts stagnate because of lack of promotional avenues. This makes them not only unhappy but also causes negative impact. PM should also take note of this.

Indian Railways

Super efficient. The Railways was in doldrums during that period, there was no expenditure on safety and the wagons were allowed to go over loaded. One can't forget the 'White Paper' prepared by Mamata Banerjee indicating the fudging of account of the Indian Railways during that period. Railways were able to move more freight during that period because there was 10% growth in the country. Railways at that time were reaping the fruits of the correct investments made during the period of Nitish Kumar. The locomotives were on there way out. More number of electrical engines and wagons were purchased prior to the joining of Lalu Yadav.
