| Baig’s absence shelves cabinet decisions | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Feb 16
In absence of the Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig, the meeting of state cabinet held here today skipped many important and long pending decisions.
Sources said that the Deputy Chief Minister Baig, who represents the Peoples Democratic Party, could not make it to the cabinet meeting therefore many sensitive issues which could have attracted reservations were put off till next meeting. No next date for the meeting has been fixed yet.
It is reliably learnt that besides other issues, the cabinet meeting had listed on agenda postings to important positions in administration and police which have been lying vacant for many months. These include the posts Financial Commissioner Revenue, Secretary in Home, Secretary in Labour and Employment department, Additional Director General of Police, CID and Senior Superintendents of Police in at least six districts.
Sources said that the name Financial Commissioner Agriculture Production Satinder Singh Kapur is tipped to take over as Financial Commissioner Home. This post was vacated by the elevation of BR Kundal to the post of Chief Secretary. The charge of Home Secretary is currently temporarily being held by Pawan Kotwal, Secretary in the Chief Minister’s Office.
Playing it safe, the cabinet discussed only routine matters which had already been discussed among the partners, said the sources. Most of the routine matters placed before the Cabinet including creation of posts in Judiciary and Social Welfare, appointment of Principal Government Medical College Srinagar and transfer of land and regularization of migrant substitutes were approved. |
