| | | | Extensions to retiring officials to create deadwood, stooges | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 2: The tendency to extend services of civil servants beyond the superannuation age is a highly disturbing tendency. The practice makes it obligatory and imperative for the obliged civil servant to act as a pawn in the hands of those who use their influence to prevent timely retirement of such officials.
The State government has been weighing the pros and cons of the proposal to enhance the retirement age from the existing 58 to 60 years in respect of its employees. The main argument extended against such an enhancement by some ministers of the coalition government has been the government's concern for the growing unemployment among the educated, unemployed ... | |

RUSTAM
JAMMU, Apr 2: The City of Temple, Jammu, yesterday witnessed a great event, notwithstanding the fact that the Congress party hijacked the whole show or converted the otherwise memorable event into a Congress show. The case in point is the unveiling of Maharaja Hari Singh's statue and dedication of Maharaja Hari Singh Ji Park to public. The statue was unveiled and the park was dedicated to public both by Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Karan Singh, son of Maharaja Hari Singh - a function in which the NC, the PDP, the BJP and the Panthers Party leaders were conspicuous by their absence. It would have been appropriate had the organizers of the two events ensured the part... | |
