7th CPC recommendation

One non-existent issue has been raised in whisper as well as in informal foras/chats that 7th CPC is recommending for 6o yrs of 33 yrs of service. Firstly similar type of news was spread at the time of Delhi elections and the Central Govt. had to pay a heavy price in no rebutting it or doing it after a lot of damage was done. Similarly timing of this news will coincide with the Bihar elections. Does it contain some truth, is it an election gimmick, is it a reality, is it a selective leak, but ultimately true or not the Central govt has to pay the price for not rebutting it.

Secondly, almost 90% of Secy, 30% of AS and 50% officers below Director will be out on a single day reducing the strength of Govt. to just half. It is well known that non-gazetted staff are recruited between 19-22 yrs. and almost 90% will be axed in a day. Similarly who are on compassionate grounds appointees are recruited even at 18. One can imagine a large number of work force will be out in a day. How do you function, you contract staff or work with half staff strength. The news seems to malign the establishment and tarnish the image for selfish reasons but most unfortunate is there is no response from the Govt. who are going to feel the pinch. If it is not true or whatever a small clarification will serve the establishment.

Pvt police force

Pvt police force (wic 22.7.15) Harish, as we all know the present Indian police system of British origin has miserably failed in protecting common citizens, because British had made it to CRUSH Indians, not for their security. Police is known to be extremely corrupt govt deptt. Central Govt Vigilance or CBI has no control on them as they belong to State Govt. They are more loyal to local MLAs and their goons. Recall, when P&T was the only telephone provider, then how lineman used to trouble people, but when alternative phone providers stepped in, it was for the common man to decide whom to choose for better services. Presently we have no alternate choice but to beg before a sipahi (constable who is just 12th pass). There are no CCTV cameras in police station for obvious reasons. Women and poor people are maltreated in these thanas at the instance of an Inspector or S.I. who is a non-Gazetted employee. Unfortunately, gazetted officers like IPS and PPS feel shame to head the thanas, which is the base of criminal justice system. Without money, nothing moves in a thana, since they are fully aware that the public has no other alternative. These police men have also expanded their jurisdiction in railways- in trains and in station area, although railway has its own police-RPF (Rly protection Force) and a separate Railway Judge. RPF is competent enough to deal with railway act and IPC.

Let there be an alternate PRIVATE police system, with ARREST powers, in each thana area and their reporting should not be to SP or SSP but to an independent constitutional authority of state like 'Security General of State' . Local public may decide where to lodge their FIRs- in Private or Govt Police Stn. The Govt police should concentrate on organised mafia crimes, manage crowds in rally, riots, elections etc. Day to day policing of locality should be left to private police. If I am correct, Singapore has such an arrangement. Our Pradhan Sewak (PM) should be apprised of the concept of Private Police. Jai Bharat.

CMOs not clear

Worst problem in CGHS Dispensary is that CMOs are not clear about govt. orders visa-vis permission for procedures in pvt. empanelled hospitals. They would often talk to the other people what is to be done and confuse the matter.It has been found that lady cmos mostly do not educate them selves well. Secondly once the doctors know that the patient is a senior citizen instantantenously they think that he should not be bothered about.There is no separate provision for cancer patients to meet CMO. Once a lady incharge CMO said in Dwarka dispensary that if she started giving prefernce to the cancer patients she would herself pick up cancer as India has 12 percent cancer patients.The Director of CGHS delhi asked his PA not to connect him if a call came from a retired officer making some enquiry. No body is prepared to believe that he would also retire one day. This is how the CGHS functions. Govt is also not caring to simplify the procedures for senior citizens. Dwarka dispensary is availed by mostly retired persons who settled in dwarka after leaving govt. accommodation.At any point of time there are forty benificiaries in line.Hope some one hears their problem and does something for them.

Specialist's recommendations
Rajeshwar Dayal says that what I wrote was wrong without reading fully what was written. I never said specialists recommendations is not necessary. What I said was that it is not for specialists to suggest treatment in empanelled hospitals and that permission has to be taken from CGHS dispensary. I know this because I was handling CGHS matters in the M/o H & FW for 5 1/2 years, first as a DS and then as Director. As regards tests, etc, the OM was issued by me in February 2010

Rohit Joshi

Good beginning

It is a good beginning since the masters (Top) promote the corruption and disciples (juniors) follow. The credit for this initiative goes to Modi Government. It appears the era of -we are born to be served- a term synonymous to IAS , is evaporating fast and this class seems to be the most worried lot. The rules they frame favours them the most . An IAS who was neck deep rooted in corrupt practices , was informed by a fellow colleague of the impending CBI raid while unwillingly signing the agency's request for his prosecution. The result the corrupt IAS cleaned and sweeped his ill-gotten wealth and related documents much before arrival of the CBI. This practice is quite common in this class and that is why hardly an IAS is convicted for his criminal misdeeds. Time has come when they must change their mind set and serve the countrymen to whom they are subservient - till now just on paper.
