Jammu | Oct 8
To fulfill his cherished dream of ensuring transparency in the government departments and make these institutions free from corruption and also ensuring punctuality of employees in the offices, the Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has devised a new strategy to achieve this objective.
According to some reliable sources, Azad has secretly constituted a team of seven reputed civil and police officers for keeping a close eye on the functioning of various departments and its employees. The constitution of the team has been necessitated following large scale complaints received by the Chief Minister himself that some of the government employees are playing truants and hardly attend to their duties resulting in delay of the disposal of the cases.
The sources further revealed that this special team has been visiting the offices to check records and attendance of the employees, especially those who often remain absent from their duties. The team has also been assigned the task of getting details about the number of daily wagers engaged by various departments and the mode of their engagement as there has been several complainants that some of the officers have engaged their kiths and kin as daily wagers who are paid salary without any work. Some of the officers have reportedly engaged these workers for their domestic purposes at the cost of the state exchequer.
Following these complaints, the sources said, the CM has set up a secret committee to ascertain the veracity of these complaints and if found correct stern action against the guilty officials is on the cards, the sources added. Sources maintained that this special team is visiting three to four government offices per day. Sources close to Azad said that the team is working secretly since last few days and has been briefed not to make its findings to public. This special team, sources said, has already checked the records of several departments and is presently examining the records of the PHE department where a number of daily wagers have illegally been engaged only for salary purposes.
When this reporter contacted a senior officer to ascertain the facts, he said no such special team visited his office but maintained that the government had asked for furnishing a list of the employees working in the department. |
