| Make Ganaie Committee report public: Beigh | | 'Creation of new administrative units, a paper exercise' | | Et REPORT
SRINAGAR, Jan 13: Alleging that State Government is hell-bent to create confusion and want to sow the seeds of animosity among people with in districts, Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) today said that Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted for examining the creation of new Administrative Units is a mockery and the decisions that would be taken in this regard would be solely 'paper exercise'. Addressing a news conference at Gupkar, PDP senior leader Muzafar Hussain Beigh said that they welcome the process of creating new administrative units provided the Mushtaq Ganaie report should be made public and the issue be discussed in Assembly. "Keeping in view the developmental and administrative needs of the state and the difficult climatic and topographic conditions the previous coalition government appointed a committee of experts under former chief secretary SS Biloeria. The committee was tasked to make recommendations about creation of new administrative and development units in the state on a rational basis. Since Biloeria had to opt out of the committee after some time it was continued under Mushtaq Ahmed Ganai," he said.Beigh said that the committee under both chairpersons made a detailed exercise, met people across the state and made some recommendations in 2011. Since then the report has been gathering dust and the cabinet has been tossing the issue without taking any decision. Repeated demands were made to table the reports in the state legislature but without any response.He said that there are very strong reasons for questioning the bonafides of the ruling parties in ordering new units at the far end of its tenure. It has earlier made a highly injudicious distribution of health centres approved by the Government of India.
"PDP reiterates its demand of making the report of the Mushtaq Ganai committee public before any decision is taken without knowledge or views of the public. Even the portion of recommendations made by the earlier Biloeria committee should be put in public domain.."
Muzafar Hussain Beigh said that the CSC exercise is patently farcical as they are working to a deadline given by the Chief Minister for his obvious political interests. The audience at these so called meetings is sponsored by the ruling party itself to elicit predetermined opinions. It is a fixed match. If the units had ultimately to be created through such charade what was the need for a committee and why did the ruling party wait for the election time to execute its plans.
"The insincerity of the ruling parties in attempting to create new administrative units , at this stage, without putting in public domain the reports of experts and without discussing the same in the state legislature, is heightened by the facts that the statutory institutions like Panchayats have remained defunct because of the callous and unforgivable failure of the government to hold election at the block and district level," he said. |
