Jammu, Nov 27: Crossing all norms of financial propriety and its judicious management, administration of Central University of Jammu appears to have no control over the finance wing of university with more than 60% payment stands released by the University without ascertaining their factual position on ground, the member Jammu Youth Forum (JYF) staged protest against the Gopalaswami Parthasarathy Chancellor of Central University of Jammu.
Gathering the Protest here today, Ajaz Khan State President Jammu Youth Forum (JYF) said that Gopalaswami Parthasarathy Chancellor of Central University of Jammu swiftly took over the control of administration and pulled everything up within days. Owing to his administrative skills, work culture has drastically improved in all the departments," khan said. It seems that Chancellor has no control over the University teachers and officials that's why he deliberately keeping himself out of the Varsity affairs so as to save his reputation, he said adding that Vice Chancellor violated UGC norms on several occasions and should have been held accountable for that but, the Chancellor remained mum.
He further disclosed that about 100 kms of HT/LT cable worth Rs 15.93 crores was purchased in bulk by the Contractor against the agreement signed between University and Contractor through PMC EPIL, but shockingly 60% i. e. Rs.8.32 crores payment has been released by university authority without any justification, thus raising mystery about its intention behind such a doubtful move. He said that despite gigantic expenditure, there has been no activity by the concerned agency on site since February 2016.
He also said that M/S Anil & Co engaged for electrical work has been assigned the task of building seven electric sub-stations, laying down cables along the University roads and installing electric poles in the campus. He pointed out that till date no substation has been put to operation despite lapse of considerable time period against the initial allotted time.
Apprehending nexus between contractor and Vice-chancellor of Central University, Ajaz informed that upon insistence of the contractor to release rest of the payment, the matter was referred for legal opinion, but surprisingly a payment of Rs. 2.00 crores as revolving fund was made to the Contractor through PMC EPIL during Feb 2017 much against legal opinion from the standing council despite the fact that Executive Engineer and Incharge Financial Officer did not put their signature for release of payment.
As if it was not enough as administrative arrogance, Executive Engineer was rudely relieved back to the parent department for being honest and technically competent officer as he did not suit the whims and vagaries of few officers hell bent to loot the public money in day light, Ajaz said, adding that buildings which are operational are not getting proper electricity due to non availability of electric substation.
He urged the President of India and Union HRD Ministry to take cognizance of fraud and nepotism-favoritism in CUJ and order CBI inquiry to unravel the wrong doings.
Among those who were present in the Protest included, Anil gupta, Munesh Sharma, Atul Singh, Munish kumar, Manjeet Singh, Deepak Kumar, Gurjeet Singh, Rohit Slathia, Sunil Sharma, Amit Gupta, Aman Singh, Rohit Sharma,Sanjay gupta,Kapil Kumar, Rahil Malik and others. |
