What people say about us!

Several have come, many have also gone even without coming to know the ABC…. of 'Power Journalism' but it is only you who could have an insight about the corridors of power. And thus, sustain for such a long time only because of the credibility you have earned. Truly, you are the 'Amitabh Bachchan' of this field.

Army vs Barmy Army..

How stupid can Pseudos get!!!
On Yogi's Orders karr rahe hai fume and fret!!

They term his orders as pro Majority!!
He's bringing Majority at par with the Majority Minority! !

For decades Government after Government! !
To please Majority Minority in overdrive every Government went!!

Now Yogi's bringing in equality!!
Finishing off with the duality!!

Once equality is achieved!
And inequality stress relieved!!

It'll be Sabh ka Saath Sabh ka Vikaas!!
He will put an end to appeasement bakwaas!

Cheaters in UP now at the receiving end!!
Jail mein some ko kiya Yogi ne send!!

5 Years Akalless Yadav Raaj 'wrongs' thrived!!
From SP itself power the Scum derived!!!

As Yogi cures UP SP's dushkaams are so obvious!!
UPites were scared not oblivious! !

The curing is showing how diseased UP was!
When UP was under Gunda Laws!!

GST passed a crucial hurdle!!
Watching and biting his nails was Mr Perpetually Prepubertal!!

Sonia showed no emotion!!
Though mind must be full of commotion!!

I think she's realised Mr. Prepubertal se nahi hoyega!!
But she also knows if she tells him woh royega!

Why is Opposition against Laws that help in a crucial war!!
Which in War against Corruption can literally star!!

Moiley in Madam's presence did his best!!
But I think he failed 'the test'!!

Weak on facts and lacking presence!!
In fact he looked too tense!!

If Army does not use Pellet Guns what should it use!!
Pseudos should think before Army ko they accuse!!

In face of stone pelting and petrol bombs what can be used!!
In fact in a way for being compassionate Army is being abused!

What Pseudos want is Army face the Petrol Bombs and Stones!!
And just make threatening tones!!

Confucius says... Army got to do what it's got to do!!
And this goes for Pseudos too!!

Adds... The Nation depends on our Army!!
Whereas Pseudos are an Army that's Barmy (Mad or Crazy)!!

IAS officer as Secretary Posts

Government of India has decided to have IAS officer as Secretary of department of posts. Modi Govt is keen that officers from the same cadre should not head the Ministry. This will ensure transparency and fair play. Now both telecom and postal will have one common Secretary. The officers in the department have welcomed this move except for a small segment which is voicing its dissent.

Mass scale VRS in past

Will anybody think over the mass scale VRS in the recent past ? MOFs have tendered. The reason of such VRS. Why members of Force are anxiously waiting to complete 20 years of service so as to be eligible for VRS. God help them all.

DATE WITH RTI

Service records for the period 1980 to 1986

The appellant sought information regarding his adhoc appointment in NDMC from 22.03.1980 to 16.03.1986. He appealed to CIC claiming that the records pertaining to his service on adhoc basis w.e.f. 22.03.1980 to 16.03.1986 were not made available to him, thereby causing impediments in grant of higher pay allowance/ terminal benefits, which are otherwise due to him. The PIO stated that no records prior to regular absorption of the appellant in year 1986 are available in his personal file. The appellant drew the attention of the Commission towards copies of orders of initial adhoc appointment and subsequent extensions thereafter. The CIC directed the PIO to certify as to whether the appellant worked with NDMC on adhoc basis from 1980-86 with/without break or not.

Comments

With the advent of the RTI Act, many public authorities are finding it difficult to respond to applications due to poor record keeping practice. With the increasing reliance of public and its own employees on the RTI Act to gather basic material for grievance redressal, improving the record maintenance should be high on priority of all public organisations.
