DEBATE
How do you see the two most powerful leaders
of the World - Donald Trump and Narendra Modi ?
Some people see Donald Trump as Narendra
Modi of the USA. Like Modi in 2014, they say, Trump touched the raw
nerve of the US citizens in 2016 to win a decisive victory.
If Modi, with his magnetic electoral campaign,
won an absolute majority for his party for the first time in 2014, Trump
also staged a spectacular campaign to win the top job for himself.
How do you (surfers of whispersinthecorridors.com)
see the two most powerful leaders of the World ?

Railway finances in bad shape
Railway finances seem to be in quite a bad shape and instead of improving
these by recovering from the users, specially the passengers, the cost
of service they are thinking of ways to augment the same in weird ways
such as renting out platforms for weddings or branding trains and stations.
While branding may not be such a bad idea letting out Railway platforms
for marriages is outright thoughtless. This is to put the normal travelling
public to inconvenience as also expose the Railway facilities to insecurity
as well as chaotic mess. Even branding of trains and allowing the buying
media or advertisers to use the inside and outside of trains and stations
with big hoardings and posters on selling their products will spoil
the ambience and exclusiveness of rail travel. Now when the Rail Budget
has been merged with the General Budget and Railways get more Budgetary
support besides not paying dividend to General Revenue they should not
hesitate to become really professional in dealing with their finances.
There could not be a better time for them to do so when they have a
minister who is above populism as he has no constituency to serve and
the Prime minister himself is taking interest in Railway development
and he has a big vision for that. Why do they then hesitate to suggest
raising of fares. If at all they have to think of other ways of earning
more income there could be so many other imaginative ways. For example
like running tourists' specials, Pilgrimage specials or even marriage
specials to destinations like Udaipur etc. Sponsored visits for students
and Railway buffs to hundreds of heritage stations and other sites could
be another idea.

How GoI can use this money - it belongs to depositors. IT can levy income

Disclosure in cases where vigilance proceedings are pending
for long
RTI applications were filed concerning the alleged illegal allotment
of sheds to a private firm in 2008 thereby causing a loss of Rs.
6.63 Cr. to the Govt. exchequer due to favouritism by the then
Traffic Manager, Mumbai Port Trust. The PIO stated that the departmental
vigilance proceedings are pending in the aforesaid context and
the any disclosure of information would impede the process of
prosecution of delinquent officers. The appellant drew the attention
of the Commission towards the fact the cases relate to year 2008
and there is inordinate delay in the conclusion of investigation/
disciplinary proceedings. The CIC observed that merely because
the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of
offenders is continuing, the bar stipulated under Section 8(1)
(h) of the RTI Act is not attracted. Moreover, a careful reading
of the section reveals that the word used in section 8(1)(h) is
"would" which implies that there should be definite
material information in the hands of the CPIO to delineate that
disclosure of the information will impede the process of investigation.
Mere apprehension is not enough. If the intent of the legislature
was to deny information on the basis of apprehension it would
have used the word "could".
Comments
To the question whether details of ongoing proceedings against
government employees can be disclosed, the Information Commission
has not taken a generalized view. If the vigilance proceedings
are pending for long duration, it defeats the very purpose of
its initiation. In such situations, the accused may claim disclosure
in larger public interest.
