| No action against BMO even after DC's intervention | | Appointments under HDF in Khansahib | | Early Times Report
Budgam, Oct 4: Authorities are yet to initiate action against the Block Medical Officer (BMO) Khansahib who has allegedly made several appointments in the block for which Hospital Development Fund (HDF) has been utilized which is otherwise meant for development of the hospital.
Even after intervention of Deputy Commissioner Budgam , no action has been initiated till date against the officials of the health block Khansahib especially the BMO.
As reported earlier on August 11th the BMO who is the custodian of all the records and official documents in his block had even denied to share information under RTI Act regarding backdoor appointment of more than 100 persons under hospital development fund (HDF). The information was sought by some aggrieved persons of Khansahib who allege that no advertisements were made prior to these appointments.
Application under RTI was filed last month and information seekers sought information invoking legal term as expeditiously as possible. Information seekers say that information is neither to be created or collected by the BMO who is also the designated PIO under RTI Act in medical block Khansahib.
" Why shall the BMO make us to wait for 30 long days ? Information seeker has to wait for 30 days in case information is to be created or collected from other offices , but in this case the information is very much present in BMO's office. We have asked him to provide the same within 4 days and now more than 10 days have passed . Even former Chief Information Commissioner Mr G R Sufi has given an order in this regard wherein PIO has to provide information within 3 to 7 days of time only in case the same is available in his office files. The matter is of great public importance and we will now approach State Information Commission (SIC) ," said an aggrieved youth Shaheena Akhtar.
The aggrieved candidates have filed a complaint before DC Budgam who had directed Chief Medical Officer Budgam (CMO) to intervene. Information seekers had sought following information from MO Khansahib:
1. Certified list of persons employed by the BMO office under Hospital Development Fund (HDF) during last 2 years & above ( Jan 2016 to July 2018). Their name , address and educational qualification ?
2. Details of funds / revenue collected on account of HDF in block Khansahib (all PHC) and SDH Khansahib) & its Utilization in an excel format . Give year wise details from last 5 years (March 2013 to July 2018)
3. Copy of Govt order or circular wherein Government has approved to employ/ engage people in Govt hospitals and subsequently paid wages under Hospital Development Fund (HDF) ?
4. What is the criteria evolved to engage people under HDF ? Provide copies of advertisements made if any in this behalf
As reported already in a brazen violation of the recruitment rules and also without the approval of the competent authorities / state government more than 100 persons have allegedly been appointed under the Hospital Development Fund (HDF) in Khansahib medical block during last 6 months. Sources say neither any interview nor any written test was conducted while making these appointments.
From March 2018 till July end as many as 100 blue-eyed boys and girls have been appointed in various capacities in Sub District Hospital (SDH) Khansahib and several primary health centers (PHCs) of Khanshaib medical block. Sources say that present and past Block Medical Officers (BMOs) of Khansahib are said to be involved in this scam.
Only a few years back as many as 132 unauthorized appointments under HDF were made in Sopore and several senior doctors of Sub-District Hospital Sopore were said to be involved in this scam. In Pulwama district also several illegal appointments have been made in District Hospital Pulwama few years back.
The HDF appointments are made in complete violation and disregard of the Government Order No. 954 HME of 2000 Dated: 21-12-2000 and Government Order No. 150-HME of 2005 Dated: 15-3-2005, which make it clear that the HDF has no scope for employing or engaging people. |
