DEBATE (1) Retirement Age

60 or 58 - that is the question. I would suggest it should be merit, calibre and utility all rolled into one. You cannot have deadwood continuing just to satisfy his family needs. If he is unfit, he should go at 58. Let there be a special evaluation of the official and if his continuing in beneficial then let him continue till 60. This can be done at the age of 57 so that he gets sufficient notice. Utility should be the criterion and not entry to Govt service. Public and other stakeholders have to be benefit by his service for another 2 years.

S M A Millath

DEBATE (2) Retirement Age

There is lot of roumers about reducing retirement age of CG employees from 60 to 58. If it is correct, then it will be blunder on the part of NDA. No way it is going to help the new generation. Government should clarify their stand on this issue at least on Shri AB Bajpai's Birthday since it was given by him to the CG Employees. Will it happen?

Raj

DEBATE (3) Retirement Age

People are living longer and enjoy good health even after 60 yrs .Though the age of retirement is 60 yrs. scycophants manage post retirement employment and continue to bleed the government .It is therefore necessary to maintain the status-quo ie 60 yrs. as age of retirement and no reemployment after that.Let Government recruit more youngsters at lower level.

S Gopal

DEBATE (4) Retirement Age

Discussion should be over - why not 59 yrs and 35 yrs of service whichever is earlier + 330 days of EL encashment on retirement ??

PM's Popularity Abroad?

Whatever the Media or Government say, fact remains that present Government has been rebuffed by foreign nations repeatedly in the last 6 months. There was lot of hullagulla about PM's red carpet welcome and personal friendly relations with Japanese counterpart during his visit to Japan last year. The day he came back to India, the Japanese Government chose to award former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh as the best friend of Japan. Then, it was PM's stop-over in Germany during visit to Brazil for BRICS summit, and his desire to meet German Chancellor. Initially there was lot of noise in media and Government about the wish of German Chancellor to meet the Indian PM during stop-over in Germany but she preferred to watch Football World Cup in Brazil than to meet Indian PM. Now, even before the visit to US President to India as a Chief Guest in the Republic Day Parade, and his special treatment to India and new Government, as reported in the Press, the US Government has decided to release $ 532 million aid to Pakistan as a reward for doing everything possible to fight terrorism.

Is Health Minister listening?

It is surprising that the hospitals like Apollo,Fortis Okhla and other well known hospitals are not empanelled in Delhi under CGHS in-spite of providing them subsidized land and other facilities. It shows the weakness of the government who is unable to persuade the hospitals to become part of providing services to CGHS beneficiaries. Is government is so weak that hospitals are taking their own decisions? Second issue of CGHS Sr. Citizens trouble and pain for not permitting them for direct consultation in empanelled CGHS hospitals whereas general public Sr. citizens can visit CGHS wellness centres for consultation. These are long pending requests with Health Minister but Minister is sleeping over the issue without moving forward to look into the problems of CGHS beneficiaries specially pensioners. May I request to Health Minister to ask Ministry to start process of empanellment of good hospitals in Delhi and permitting CGHS beneficiaries pensioners category for direct consultation in empanelled hospitals but the medicines will continued to be issued by respective wellness centers.

Superiority of IAS over IPS be stopped

Appointment of IAS officer as ACS Home is a British legacy and attempts to establish superiority of IAS over IPS needs to be stopped immediately. The Home Department should have only an IPS officer as its head. Sooner the better.
