| JKAC must take cognizance of omissions, commissions of Advisors: Harsh | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 2: With bureaucracy having assumed the centre stage in the State, the Advisors seemed to enjoy the authority without any accountability. They have literally lost control over the helm of affairs with administration running in doldrums, said Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister.
"While the menace of corruption had become rampant in almost all the departments, the sufferings of the masses have soared in the past one year", Singh further rued. Taking a dig on the Advisors, Harsh Dev Singh regretted that they were functioning as per their own whims and fancies without having any connect with the public at large and their concerns. "Corrupt officers are ruling the roost. Several complaints with evidence filed against them were blatantly ignored and contrarily rewarded with plum postings. Moreover, the promotions are also given to the corrupt officers without following the rules. Undoubtedly, there is a malicious problem in the administrative system which needs to be curbed immediately", said Harsh. He further added that the corruption had peaked to all time high with whole sale transfers executed in PHE, PWD, M&RE, Revenue, Forests, RDD, etc. No file moves in transfers unless money exchanged hands. This could only happen when the corrupt officers enjoy the patronage of the Advisors, Harsh said. Further expressing his anguish over the growing discontent and alienation among the people, he said that tall claims of the Governor's Secretariat for redressal of public grievances with outcome- oriented resolution had proved hoax. "The Grievance cells both in Jammu and Srinagar have become defunct which has led to severe revulsion among the masses. The public complaints/grievances, representations and demands are contemptuously thrown in the waste bin by the Advisors and the bureaucrats in most disdainful manner. Many a times, stereo type replies are given to the complainants without any concrete action on the ground", said Harsh. |
