kid ... again the family does not react . Then one day the Goonda neighbour
murders the kid. Now the Father of this kid wants the Cops to take action
...but the other brother quietly goes and makes peace with the Goonda
neighbour who has murdered his brother's kid ... now tell me how will
the brother whose kid has been murdered treat his Brother ?????? In
the same way ...this Nation's 19 sons were killed and our Pseudo Brothers

CRC approves 480+ posts for IPTAFS against 200+ serving officers
CRC have approved 800+ posts for ITS officers against 1650+ officers
serving presently. In case of ITS officers number of posts in CRC has
been reduced from existing strength whereas in IPTFAS same has been
made more then double. IPTFAS have encroached in to the administrative
and executive responsibility within the ministry in addition to routine
IFD function through field offices and other units. These administrative
& functions were actually to be performed by ITS offices. ITS officers,
a an engineering service, are ignored within their own ministry by top
bureaucrats due pressure from IPTFAS, a civil allied service.
Harish kumar
It is painful
Yes. It is painful that due to anti lobbying by the ITS cadre and its
Association who are misusing judicial process by filing CAT case against
IP&TAFS Cadre the Cadre Review of IP&TAFS is pending. ITS cadre
which was recommended for abolition by the 6th Pay Commission and seconded
by the 7th Pay Commission just to keep the things in loop is lobbying
against cadre review of IP&TAFS. It is sad that Administration is
listening to a litigant cadre with malice intention.

What is wrong in performing ?
Many voices against Indian Telecom Service. If anybody is able to perform,
they will not die out. What is wrong in performing ?

Beware, Shanti Bhushan knows it all
There are many Senior Government Officers and Ministers who have Staff
Car with them at the same time they take facility of additional vehicles
either in the form of hired vehicle taken by the Ministry/Department
for general duty purposes and also vehicles at the cost of PSUs, Attached/Subordinate
offices. When these officials are on tour abroad, the vehicles are used
by their family members on holidays.
Beware, Shanti Bhushan knows about it and very soon he is going to
lodge a PIL in the Supreme Court.

Why so many transfers ?
Pravir Kumar is upright IAS officer &Technocrats from IIT/K. Why
so many transfers in short period ?

Missing records cannot be used as an excuse to deny information
The appellant stated that he joined the service in 1981 and is
on the verge if retirement. He claimed that he has not got even
a single promotion during his entire service period, though he
is eligible as per rulers. He sought certain documents claiming
that due to non-availability of the said documents, the appellant
could not get his senior grade and selection grade. The PIO stated
that information sought by the appellant is not available. The
CIC observed that unless proved that record was destroyed as per
the prescribed rules of destruction/ retention policy, it is deemed
that record continues to be held by public authority. The CIC
pointed out that by practice, 'missing file' cannot be read into
as exception in addition to exceptions prescribed by RTI Act as
it amounts to breach of Public Records Act, 1993 The CIC directed
the PIO, Mr. the Principal and the Asst. Registrar to show-cause
why maximum penalty should not be imposed upon them for not providing
the information to the appellant and why disciplinary action should
not be recommended against them. Further, the public authority
was directed to explain why compensation should not be paid to
the appellant for harassing him by not providing the requisite
information for a long time.
Comments
In many government offices, the quality of record keeping needs
a massive overhaul. As per Public Records Act, 1993 action can
be initiated for any loss of public records and is punishable
with imprisonment up to a term of five years or with fine or both.
