POLITICS

This is History (58)

This is worthy of notice, as most great conquerors do their conquering when fairly young.

Successful politicians ?

Who is a successful politician these days ? Ostensibly the one who is a duffer, said a renowned political observer.

Jaitleyji loves IRS officers !

It is for the first time that not a single IAS officer is posted in Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's personal staff. This is evident from the fact that three IRS officers are posted in FMs personal staff. They are- Simanchal Das, PS, Paras Mal Sankhla, OSD and Amardeep Singh also an OSD to FM.

Hats off to MP Chief Secretary Anthony JC de Sa

This is in response to your news item on the above mentioned subject in 'Whispersinthecorridors.com" on 2nd September,2015. I had similar sweet experience with De Sa sir. Sometime back I had my birthday and was amazed to receive a phone call that morning from his mobile phone greeting me personally. A Chief Secretary doing this to a 12 year junior officer that too not of Principal Secretary rank is unheard of.

In Mr. De Sa Madhya Pradesh has most friendly, accessible, humble, humane, hardworking and democratic Chief Secretary.


A 1992 batch IAS (MP Cadre)

Modi govt's failures

Modi government has failed on two counts. First is a total lack of PR, putting up to the public, Government's achievements as also version of the government on the present controversial issues. Nowhere is it more manifested than in the case of the OROP agitation. Even senior bureaucrats, let alone public are in the dark about the persisting disagreeing points that is delaying the solution and which is spoiling the image of the government. Second is the selection of secretaries for vital posts. A recent example is that of a bureaucrat who has been working in the lacklustre post of state resident commissioner for years and who had been PS to an UPA minister for six years was catapulted to a vital post. Subsequently government had to replace him within two months. Many able bureaucrats are bypassed since they are allegedly controversial forgetting that controversies can be raised only by those who are working. One suspects the hands of RSS in this. It is better Modi takes some interest in this subject.

V K Mittal

Officers' representation

A lot is being written these days in your columns about representations of officers being addressed to prime ministers. The real problem is faced by gr A officers particularly those having directly to deal with the Secretary of the department. The situation is much worse in central services as the officers aggrieved with the system cannot seek transfer out of the department. A complaint made to DOPT, CVC, Cabinet Secy lends back in the department concerned only with no time limit prescribed for its disposal or redress all of the grieve inch. An AS level officer would therefore prefer to fall in line and get promotion and then replicate the corruption and malpractice faced by him rather than put up a fight. Short of filing a C A T cause which takes years to finalise let there be a fast track system under DOPT or V C where such complaints can be disposed of within 45 days.

S K Sharma

Tussle in MoEF

Intense tussle is going on in the MoEF. It is difficult for outsiders to understand between whom? However, one can make observation, since work is going on in lethargic manner & files are piling up. Who is responsible, nobody is ready to take in the Ministry. PMO must intervene, otherwise Make in India will be only a dream.

Vimal

Lohia Hospital services

Emergency Services in Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital are bad. Doctors speak rudely and never check the patient seriously. Very Ill patients leave there on their luck - Bachenge ya Marenge. Medical Superintendent should notice the services of hospital.

Anurag

Providing better medical facilities

I entirely agree with Prem Hans that pensioners/ senior citizens need not go through the administrative barriers of seeking permission from dispensary for going to a specialist in a 'CGHS approved' private hospital. There have been many such requests from different quarters ever since the new Government has taken over with a hope that since the previous Government did not pay any heed to the vows of pensioners, at least the new Government will. But it seems the new Government is also not attending to the most justified demand. It is high time that BJP Government, Ministry of Health, DGHS and other connected people should accept this genuine demand and allow pensioners to go directly to a CGHS approved private hospital and give medicines as prescribed by them.

Pradeep Ratnaparkhi

Forged age certificates

This refers to the suggestion regarding verification of forged age certificates by CBI. It is common knowledge that twins in IPS had a difference of a few months -an incredible miracle of the parents! Similarly two IAS officers and three IPS are serving thanks to forged age certificates! Will the CBI have the guts to do anything? One of them served in the CBI itself!

Abhijit Badgujra

Hat's off to Defence Forces

Now that Defence Services people have got OROP, there is a need to rationalize expenditure and put some austerity measures in Defence. The distribution of free ration should be done through outside an agency rather than by the force themselves in order to remove pilferage and corruption in the area. Items provided at Canteens should be subject to market forces and subsidy should be withdrawn. All procurement in Defence should compulsorily be done in a transparent manner and through e-procurement in order to control corruption and cost. A close watch should be kept on the misuse of perks, staff and vehicles by some of the members for personal purposes. Restraint should be put on family members also, wherein they use vehicles for kitty parties, for going to school/colleges etc. The subordinate personal should not be used servants. This is also necessary to conserve energy and subsidy burden. Income Tax Department should have a separate unit to watch on the earnings and bank accounts of Defence Forces personal in order to ensure that right amount of Income Tax are collected.
The Defence staff should also realize that many civilians are also slugging it out. They reach office at 9.00amand slog up to 7.00 or 8.00 P.M. You cannot bracket all Civilian employees from one angle. They also have right to claim One Rank One Pension. Article 14 & 16 of the Constitution talks of right to equality. The annual burden of Rs.8,500/- crore could increase to Rs.25,0000/- per year. The last war was fought in the year 1971 and many of them Defence personal have retired experiencing combat. When the situation will demand the Civilians will also come to the rescue of the country. Marta kya na karta.

Armed forces and CAPF officers

Whereas a rather vitriolic attack has been made by a reader Rakesh Tiwari upon the armed forces of the nation for reasons known best to himself, and apparently in support of the Central Armed Police Forces, it is quite clear that the job profile and services of the two types of organisation are entirely different. Whereas CAPF officers and jawans all serve till the age of 60, armed forces personnel retire much earlier, compulsorily as part of service conditions. Whereas CAPF officers are in receipt of Non Functional Financial Upgradation (NFFU), allowing all of them to retire with the pay of ADG Police, Armed forces personnel are not in receipt of such a benefit. Only 30 % even reach the rank of Colonel (PB 4, GP 8700), and there is no non functional pay upgrade. The CAPF's are not suffering any loss as compared to armed forces on the benefits front, and are in fact much better off. There is no need to try and do down any service. Army Navy and Air Force protect the nation, just as various CAPF's also perform all tasks assigned to them to the best of their ability. Let noone make false accusations against any other service.

Aditya Singh

OROP to bring good results

I agree with the views Tiwari comparing Army and BSF etc. The best course would be to have same ranks, pay scale, promotional avenues in all unformed organizations. Names of designations can be different but the Ist and last pay scales & facilities should be the same. Also this would facilitate induction of ex-services people into these organizations after retirement/boarding out so that they can also retire at sixty & better utilized too. Of course many worms will come out of the silk known as OROP.
