At the Jindal Literature Festival, Maj Gen (Retd) Lakhwinder Singh reveals secrets from 25 years ago, speaking about the decision that outwitted Musharraf and changed the course of the war.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
It is not fair to blame PM Shri Narendra Modi for what his minister and secretary are doing in Telecom. Though it would be better if an overseeing mechanism is developed to check the arbitrariness by the ministers and unscrupulous bureaucrats and senior officers in administration.
If PMO does not reply or take care, there is no room for improvement. Process of governance can’t be one way affair, i.e we will direct people but do not listen to people! Secretary and other officers and their Ministers should be conscious of following the policy.
Violation of transfer policy appears to arise from a feeling of nepotism and favouritism in the top functionaries of the Department of Telecom, including the Minister, Secretary and Special Secretary. So much so that these people are not bothered about the development of whole nation and believe in protection of their favoritism. Minister seems to be pumping all his resources in his constituency in Ghazipur in eastern UP while secretary and special secretary, both from south, are busy in meaningless pursuits of promotion of only southern part of the country. Despite IIT Delhi and Bombay well recognized universally, DoT seems to concentrate all its efforts on development of IIT Chennai beyond its brief. Mobile connectivity is very poor with poor call maturity and there appears to be no effort to rein in mobile service providers and ensure quality. Instead the whole attention is protecting their home turf. PMO can not be a silent spectator. Never before such a parochial attitude has been witnessed. Also there seems to be a caste angle. To fulfill their designs, these people try to ensure posting of people to do their bidding whether the same is in public interest or not. The sorry state of post offices , as pointed out by Mr. Rajshekhar and views of other concerned people and in the news item above seems to point out the indifference of top officials in the Ministry of Communications.
It is surprising to see that even for obvious issues such as pointed out above by the media, there is no response either from the minister or Prime Minister. If some policy is being violated, some body has to be responsible. PM seems to be so keen on digital India. Is it the way the Digital India would function where important govt functionaries seem to be simply non-responsive.
It is heard, that one of the officials in the tweet, Archana Gulati, enjoying her posting in Delhi since 2002 was OSD to Secretary, DoT Aruna Sundararajan and even she was not aware of the policy being violated or may be was a party to it.
It is a dismal state of affairs under this minister, Mr Manoj Sinha; whether be it telecom, post or railways. Never was the call quality so poor in the country – one is always looking for a place to make or receive a call, post offices seem like a dharamshala- no staff on the counters with post master absent in the GPO at Dak Bhavan (right under minister’s office) and for the railways about the quality of travel – the less said the better.
This is true. Postings are managers in Dot HQ. Secretary or Ministers rarely find time to review these cases. This directly affect efficiency of the department
The allegations are extremely serious. And they seem to be backed by facts.
The allegations need to be investigated. Ministry of Telecom is a sensitive Ministry and each decision would have implication of thousands of crores.
It is surprising that officers as per the above article continue to serve in the Ministry of Telecom for many years. What could be the reason ? It needs to be investigated.
It is surprising that the Ministry has not taken corrective action on the complaint.
The action taken by the Complainant needs to be appreciated. I agree with Abhishek Das that it is not good to point fingers at the complainant. It has become normal to shoot the messenger.
I hope that the authorities take action on the complaint. The Country needs officers like the Complainant, who have the courage to point out what is wrong , so that the authorities can take corrective action.
Allegations are of serious nature and need to be investigated promptly. Merely pointing fingers at the complainant will not meet the ends of justice. Let no one including top brass in DoT dare to gloss over the serious irregularities in transfer and posting and the culture of cronyism.
This appears to be rant by a disgruntled employee who has got it published through his friend. This journalist friend solely relied on this disgruntled officer has not even taken the view of DEpartment’s administration.
The officer himself facing sexual harassment charges and enjoyed more than 20 years of posting in Delhi. Now he has been posted to his hometown and comfortably staying in his parents house
