Sad affairs of Finance Ministry

A large number of officers from Income Tax and Customs and Excise Depat are working in the rank of Commissioner and Principal Commissioner of Income Tax. These officers usually are given their new assignment in the month of April/ May. However this year, till date their annual general transfer order has not been finalised. This has resulted in 1000s of Commissioners waiting for finality on their annual job assignment. As a result the work of Income Tax Dept and Custom and Excise dept has come to a standstill. Hope the Minister and PM fixes responsibility for this unnecessary delay and take action against the senior level officers who are responsible for this mess.

Indian Railways is running well enough

The Indian Railways is running well enough, or at least as well as the rest of the Government of India. The only reason why the IAS is willing to wind it up is because it is not run by the IAS. That is why they keep suggesting that it should be transformed into an Undertaking, privatised and what not. The reason why the IAS wants to prune it is because they do not want anything over which they do not hold sway. A similar question can be asked: Why should the Cabinet Secretary not be laterally inducted from the private sector ? Because he or she would have no idea how the Government functions. Similarly the Railways should be retained as it is.
