DEBATE (1)

Bureaucrats indifferent

With reference to comments made by a reader on Colours of bureaucracy, there in an observation on another aspect. After the new government came, it was the expectation of the general public that at long last, the bureaucracy will come out of its lethargy and become more attentive to the public's approaches to them. Unfortunately, the actual experience is that all bureaucrats at the higher levels are totally indifferent to any comments, suggestions or grievances of the public and it looks like they simply send them into the waste paper basket or trash. Unless the bureaucracy gets a strong cabinet secretary to crack the whip, they will continue in this 'hota hai, chalta hai' mode.

Kudos to the Prime Minister

Prime Minister's work has started giving results. Recently he reviewed issue of CGHS cards pending for more than a year. Now, CGHS beneficiaries are getting their cards who have applied till last month. But it is a pity that these are being done (which is a very small issue) after PM intervenes. Bureaucracy has to work, officers and officials should do their work properly. As PM said, he takes care of small work.

Let IBA wake up

Let the denizians in the IBA understand law. Pension is a right as is the right to property is enforceable by the legal heirs of the deceased pensioner and the arrears if any payable is to be paid with interest from the date it was denied. Let them not gloat that delay leading to the death of the pensioner will free them of their legal obligations. Delay costs. Let IBA wake up.

Drastic remedies needed

The DoPT created a proposal to retire and remove incompetent, inefficient and unproductive officers, instead of tolerating them until their retirement. Some ex-IAS officer echoed his sentiments saying that, "We need drastic remedies. The situation has become terrible. The other day an officer in Delhi was arrested for disproportionate assets of Rs 31.5 million. The Civil Service Day, to re-dedicate and recommit themselves to the cause of the people and introspection is introduced. But except huge amount as award, not even a single punishment activity is set by both regimes. Creator has to take an "Awtar'.

"Vyapam ramifications"

CBI has started probing Vyapam. Best of luck to it for taking it forward. Number of accused 2,500 (1,000 in jail ) will go up as quizzing starts. With some 7,000 corruption cases already pending with CBI, the perennial shortage of officers and staff , it will take quite a while to reach the logical culmination due to political obfuscation.
