What people say about us!

Sir, the advance information flashed in the whispersinthecorridor is 100% authentic. But, information relating to the Central Secretariat Service viz. stagnation, promotion, etc. is not figuring. Do flash our case also, as we the poor mortals do not have any godfather.

Zarra sochcho....

Many Indians sitting in their Drawing Rooms want War!!
And many NRIs demand a war from afar!!!

To avenge 17 Jawans they want many more to die!!
Have they even seen how in Wars death does fly!!

This time with Nuclear aspect Citizens would be in line of fire!!
The human cost would be much much higher!!

Stop jerking your knees!!
These demands for war should cease!

Yes there should be tit for tat!!
We strike a terror camp or neutralise a 'rat'!!

A surgical strike would be advisable !!
As an act of war such a strike Pakis would label!!

They'll fume and fret and vow to take revenge!!
For the time being with words the strike they'll avenge!!

Yes there would be indiscriminate firing on the border!!
On the Border temporary disorder!!

And they'll run to UN and China!!!
China will offer shoulder to cry and UN as usual will play 'eene meena myna'!!

Prime candidate for the strike would be someone whose given us pain!!
Who has been India's bane!!

Or Terror training camp would do too!!
World would never boo!!

World has seen how Modi has tried his level best!!
To befriend a Pest!!

And then Pakis would think twice before striking on Indian soil!!
Would be worried about the recoil!!

Sisodia got inked!!
With the Uri attacking this inking Vishwaas linked!!

Public now takes their rantings with sack full of salt!!
Next year post Punjab these rantings will halt!!

AAPs leaking supporters left right and centre!!
And NRIs support to AAP was like a construction 'lenter'!!

NRIs are moving away !!
Some may even demand seed money refund some NRIs say!!

Slowly but surely ho rahe hai segregate,
I'd say by 2017 AAP would be ready to disintegrate!!

Protest is to protect and promote service interest


Recent news is that IRS(C&E) officers are protesting against having the GST Network being managed by a private company. The protest is only to protect and promote their service interest. Look at NSE, commanding a valuation of 33 multiple of its profit. It was sponsored by Govt. entities, did well for the country, maintained institutional integrity. Govt can always provide a check of any wrong doing with directors in the board.

Rama Rama Prasad


The news of Chikangunia and other fevers are a big news in print and as well as visual media and is being projected as a disaster. But I want to share a different story on this. Around 2 months back NDMC advertised for 10 posts of Junior residents in its hospitals for which process was to be completed in four days with a walk in interview. For 2 months there was no news and suddenly applicants received a mail that there will be written exam due to large number of applications, ok, fair enough. After two days another email was sent that exam has been postponed and post has been readvertised and the existing 200 applicants will be considered and need not apply. The intelligent establishment of NDMC have already wasted 2 months despite outbreak of fevers in Delhi and still calling for more applications. Total system seems to be arbitrary, smack of some wrong doing or to accommodate some near and dears of high and mighty. Similarly other NCT hospitals are adverting JR/SR posts at this critical juncture and wasting time whereas the RML Hospital has immediately called for 3 months JRs and within the laid down guidelines and expedited everything in a week and shortlisted 109 candidates. Public is dying, Delhi ministers are enjoying abroad, CM taking treatment in other states. Shame on this sick system.

DATE WITH RTI

Routine transfer of RTI Application from head office

An application was under the RTI Act seeking certain information about termination of dealership. The appellant prayed for imposition of penalty under Section 20 (1) of the RTI Act and sought compensation alleging that the custodian of the information transferred the application to the Guwahati office. The CIC observed that the somewhat confused replies appear to have been the result of the system of dealing with the RTI applications filed to the Head Office, under which such applications are apparently sent in the first instance to the concerned state office even before checking whether the information in question is available with any of the departments at the Head Office. The CIC held that the Respondents need to streamline the system to ensure that the applications that can be disposed of at the Head Office are not sent needlessly to the state offices. Further, since malafide intent on the part of the Respondents was not established, no action was directed against the PIO under Section 20. Furthermore, as the Appellant did establish any loss or detriment caused to him because of the replies of the Respondents to his RTI application, he was not entitled to get the information.

Comments


In many public authorities, the complete RTI Application is routinely transferred to multiple subordinate offices without proper examination as to which office holds the information. Such a practice leads to delay and an unnecessary paper work which the officials should steer clear of.
