The article has given only a surface view and that too is inflicted with a prejudiced opinion. The writer is an IAS officer of Punjab Cadre, accused of corruption in Punjab on various fronts and incidents. The view expressed is completely infested with this personal interests and ambitions devoid of neutral analysis. Rather than addressing the merits that could come into the system through lateral entry, the article looks like an opinion of a disgruntled officer looking to protect his turf.
The IAS has already damaged the country, so what is wrong if lateral entry people will damage the IAS. Recently during my visit to Rourkel in Odisha, i interected with two young lady IAS officers. Both of them were lacking in maners and proper behaviour. Even their beglhaviour towards my father who is 90 years old was disgusting. Also two IAS officers are CEO of Smart City project of Odisha. What these guys know about town planning. They are tgere to pocket money and pass a part of it to the politicians and ministers.
The article is naive and lacks precision. One by Shah Faesal was poignant. It is more in tone of prophecy and ‘can be’ and that is never the intention of Government.
A little unclear how an administration elected for five years, now towards the close of its term, which the electorate could renew next year, feels so inclined to experiment with basic, foundational features of the system. These have diligently served predecessors, as they will successors. Within the existing system, the permanent civil servants are bound to follow and implement policy decisions taken by the political executive, after tendering the best professional advice and caution. Perhaps, as the Report Card starts getting drafted, it is time to introspect on how power and opportunities have been converted into beneficial outcomes rather than seeking to sharpen the tools of governance.
