Golden thumb rule?
In India one can win election once on slogans. If you have to repeatedly
win, I have thumb rule. World is changing and if you do not follow you
will see country collapsed. Follow my golden thumb rule and if you want
let me know?

What is Govt getting by doing this?
Earlier there used to be one or two sections manned by one Section Officer.
One under Secretary used to look after at least 2-3 Sections. Ds/Dir.
used to look after minimum 5-6 Sections. After creating a large number
of promotion avenues now you have same SO, US, DS/Dir. looking after
only one section only and on the top of it the number of sections has
been bifurcated to increase the number of officers. What is Govt getting
by doing this, a bad name that they are not promoting DS/Dir. I think
officers should also think responsibility as well mere promotion will
not serve the purpose of Government.

Grievance of a railway pass holder
A retired Master Craftsman claimed that despite being eligible
for first class pass, the Railways had not been honouring several
clauses related to the journey performed by a pass holder. He
sought Information regarding rules relating to privilege passes
issued to railway employees. The Commission observed that under
the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, only such information as
is available and existing and held by the public authority or
is under control of the public authority can be provided. The
PIO is not supposed to create information that is not a part of
the record. He is also not required to interpret information or
furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Similarly, redressal
of grievance, reasons for non-compliance of rules /contesting
the actions of the respondent public authority are outside the
purview of the Act. Further, the CIC observed that the appeal
relates to the grievance of the retired employee regarding utilization
of railway passes and lack of awareness and sensitization of the
work force dealing with such matters. This aspect needs to be
re-examined by the competent authority to provide relief and succour
to the affected retired employees in an objective and transparent
manner.
Comments
Even though the redressal of grievance is outside the purview
of the RTI Act, it has been frequently used to obtain some relief.
The Information Commission has been sympathetic to injustice metered
through a system which is not objective or opaque.
