What an irony !
I am shocked with the revelations that the Separatists in Kashmir are
being provided security and other perks at the taxpayers' cost i.e.
at yours and my cost. What an irony ! While hundreds of Indian soldiers
and state police are guarding them, they are provoking the youth to
pelt stones, throw grenades at our security forces killing and injuring
them. It is reported that the Government is funding their medical treatment
too. A hospital inDelhi has standing instructions to take care of their
medical needs and bill the Government while you and I need approval
of CMO incharge before visiting the doctor. Hotels and guesthouses are
theirs for asking. This is a serious matter. Funding these separatists
means funding militancy and the killing of our soldiers. These trouble-makers
are beneficiaries both ways. They are funded by Pakistan to keep the
Kashmir Cauldron alive in order to break this part of India and they
seem to be looked after by Indian Government. Why would then they come
to talk peace. Normalcy and peace is not in their interest. It is high
time all these facilities are withdrawn. It is upsetting to know that
after being turned away from their doors, opposition still wants these
perks to continue for them. Nowhere else in the world this can happen.

Yes, such actions bring bad name
I fully agree with Saxena. As an IAS officer, I think such actions bring
a bad name to the service. Since something is amiss, let the enquiry
be completed ! Earlier a group of officers had batted for Gupta, pronouncing
him innocent even before case has started. Well, they may be extremely
honest, but succumbing to pressure in order to remain in a juicy post
, is equally abhorrent, and then to tout innocence is indeed preposterous
! That way no one is corrupt ! Maybe all officers will have to adjust
to new environment, where toeing the line is not a virtue !

People of Uttarakhand minting money
The people of Uttarakhand having houses in Noida use them for various
purposes and minting money. They steal power from the connection in
their houses and make money from tenants by installing fast sub meters
and thus UP government and Noida authority is sleeping and sleeping.

Particulars of the Appellate Authority
The appellant had filed a complaint with the public authority
and sought information about the action taken regarding the same.
He later filed a complaint with the CIC alleging that PIO did
not provide the particulars of the First Appellate Authority in
his reply. He also insisted on compensation for non provision
of information and harassment. The CIC awarded compensation of
Rs. 2500/- to the Appellant. The CIC also directed the PIO that
in future, the details of the FAA and the period within which
appeal can be made should be intimated.
Comments
All PIO’s and FAA’s should take a careful note to the
provisions of the RTI Act and ensure that while replying to RTI
application the name and other particulars of the next level of
appellate authority and the period within which appeal can be
made should be invariably mentioned.
