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 tax on these amounts if they find amounts are part of the undeclared income. Can anybody explain please....

DATE WITH RTI

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.
