Three top post vacant since two years

1. Post of Chairman, Pollution Control Board
2. Post of Chairman, CZA
3. Post of Chairman, National Biodiversity Authority
Interview for the NBA chairman was held 9 months ago by the PMO appointed committee but no appointment. Biodiversity conservation is a big issue for mitigation to climate change and making strategy to counter it. Hopefully PMO would awaken.

Govt should improve

Again things are going in 'keep pending' box by giving one or the other reason like previous government. Number of PSUs/deparments are headless or makeshift arrangements have been made. Why High Court Judges are not being appointed ? Then blame the executive or judiciary for delays. Nobody is serious for this work. Now implementation of 7th CPC is being delayed. Why employees should not get their due in time. Lot of improvement needs from government side also to avoid agitation and strike and make employees work.

Concern over sexual harassment

I endorse the concern over sexual harassment. I wrote79 letters - one each to govt secretaries for trg&mgmt and awareness. No response even from ministry and Under Secretary in charge refuges to circulate name of resource person on list of approved faculty. NGO with connections get money and hire trainer at half rate.
