| With governance in a state of 'paralysis', | | Inf deptt gets poorer for 'worthwhile' news | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 15: State Information Department has been enjoying a tension free long period of nearly two and a half month in not producing any news related to functioning of the government , thanks to MCC imposed for LS polls by Election Commission which kept both the government as also the authorities in this department away from routine or specific activity of any department which otherwise make some news for consumption by media. Poll process is since over in J&K and MCC has been lifted, yet the press note files circulated by the Information Department is filled with utterly insignificant items and certain items that are not worth carrying on any page of the news papers. However, this time it is the department alone to blame for the government continues to be in still state with none attending the offices from the political executive.
Call it a extreme sense of complacency or NC led government's ever seen conduct of taking people of the state for a ride, the governance is completely conspicuous by its absence , so to say it has suffered a serious stroke of paralysis. It has been over a week since poll process completed in the state, yet nothing has moved forward in the name of functioning of government. WHile the government including Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his team of cabinet ostensibly remained pre occupied with over two month long election process and could not devote time to any aspect of governance, MCC came as a pretext to stay away even from routine works. Now that everything is over, governance is still in a state of paralysis as no one in the government seems to ready to get back to routine work, not to speak of taking stock of where clock of functioning got stuck up from March 3 when MCC was put in place.
One takes pity this time for the Information department for its completely dry and drab stuff on account of no activity nor any routine work taking place in the civil secretariat. CHief Minister Omar Abdullah's statement related to political dimensions of Kashmir problem on Wednesday after a long time made some important reading and placement in papers sent in the first file of by Information Department but was again one Omar gave while speaking at a seminar outside the civil secretariat. The department pathetically so has been left to rely on whatever officials at the administrative level delivered during this phase besides an all pervasive and elaborate arrangements of state election authorities. With polls over, such news items have also lost the space and further pushed the vacuum of worthwhile news stuff, one wonders how much more time it would take government to refresh its memory that it has still over six months to deliver, rightly or wrongly. |
