| JU VC being remote controlled by his Special Secretary? | | Maiden year in office | | Abodh Sharma
Jammu, Jan 14: With just a few days left for the Vice Chancellor Prof. Mohan Pal Singh Ishar to complete his maiden year in the office, University fraternity has been astounded by the space and authority usu-rped by the special secretary Jai Kumar in the university administration. Jai Kumar who was brought into the Vice Chancellor's secretariat as an OSD managed to legitimize his posting in the highest corridor of power in the JU by getting himself regularized as Special secretary to the Vice Chancellor.
Highly placed sources in the JU disclose that in less than a year, Jai Kumar did not only manage his projection to the centre stage, but got all his adversaries eliminated in a clinical manner. He was instrumental in getting the former special secretary to VC Neeraj Sharma out of the VC's secretariat and posted as OSD in the finance department from where he was later demoted as Dy Registrar. Though Neeraj Sharma got a stay from the Court against the order, Jai Kumar also got Sanjeev Mahajan, the Joint Registrar and another of his adversaries fixed when he got him ruled ineligible from the Law department to hold the post. Mahajan also got the ruling stayed from
the Court.
Sources divulge that Kumar has also referred the case of Jatinder Khajuria, the senior most Dy Registrar for legal opinion to verify if he was eligible to even hold the charge of Joint Registrar finance. Many an eyebrows are being raised on the sudden projection of Jai Kumar as the most honest and accountable officer on campus eventhough as Joint Controller, he was attached to Registrar's office in infamous engineering examination scam during the tenure of Amitabh Mattoo on recommendation of then Controller Examination Lokesh Verma. "While Jai Kumar is after the officers of the JU administration, his own appointment in the University is under question as his appointment order had a rider that was never met" disclosed a senior university officer.
Besides the university administration, the teaching fraternity of the university has also expressed annoyance over the uncalled for interference of the Special secretary and are contemplating a
representation to the Chancellor against him. "He is present in all the meetings of all the committees, even though his name does not appear in the list of delegates. He sits parallel to VC in utter disregard of the seniority of others present in the meeting and what irks more is the fact that the Vice Chancellor looks at his special secretary before putting forth his point of view as if seeking his approval" said a Teacher.
It is pertinent to mention here that Jai Kumar is joined by a couple of young officers of the university, who have access to the political and bureaucratic corridors of the state in calling shots in JU.
