Early Times Report

Srinagar, Feb 10: Governor NN Vohra is keeping the entire administration on tenterhooks with people wondering whether the previous regime was better or the present system for the state and the masses.
There are government employees who report to their respective offices on time, bureaucrats taking peoples' woes seriously, peoples' issues being mitigated sans any delay and more important the public money which used to be spent on luxuries of ministers is being saved at large.
What general masses hail at present is the quality of governance being provided to them of which they were unaware from the helmsmen in the past.
Vohra hinted at making the government services workable for the masses at the time when he reviewed the progress with regard to the marking of attendance in various government offices and directed the Chief Secretary to ensure that Aadhaar based Bio-metric Attendance Systems are installed in the offices immediately to ensure punctuality, accountability and transparency in daily functioning of all the government offices.
Earlier with ministers holding vital positions, such a system was a distant dream for the people of the state who are yearning for a change on ground since decades.
At the time when Vohra hold charge of the state administrator after the demise of the chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on January 7, there were many who expressed concern, opining that peoples' woes would not get addressed on time if the governor Raj is imposed in the state. But with the current system of governance in sight, the critics eat the humble pie.
The measures being taken by the governor for the resolution of the general problems being faced by the people are apparently exemplary in nature.
The power, water and ration woes are getting minimised with concerned officials on toes to play their part.
Earlier, the issues pertaining to common masses would only get entangled by the babus. "There used to be log queues of people outside the secretariat and other government offices. The people used to come from the far off areas but generally would get disappointed by not finding ministers present in their chambers. Now the situation is different. The governance is at peoples' door steps and no one finds a reason to knock the secretariat doors," said a senior government employee.
People say that their demands are being met by the authorities without any delay and that the gap between the government and the people is getting minimised. "We expect the elected representatives to take a hint from the Governor that how peoples' issues should be resolved and how the administration should work.
Even if a 50 percent of work which Vohra is doing for the state would have been done by the ministers of the past regimes, things would have been different in the state. But we hope they will follow the suit. This is the only way," says a government servant.
