Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 22: Nearly a week has passed since the day government issued an order terminating the service of all the employees who were either re-employed by the erstwhile NC-Cong regime or were given extension but till date order has not been implemented fully, sources told Early Times on Sunday.
They said many officials who were given extension are still holding on to their chairs and are working overtime to somehow reach out to their new political bosses to persuade them not to disengage them.
The Principal of the Government Medical College Srinagar Dr Rafiq Pampori, who was given three year extension just two days before the new PDP-BJP government was formed in Jammu and Kashmir still continues to hold the post as he has not received any official communiqué asking him to demit the office. "Dr Pampori attended the office on Saturday. We didn't hear that he is leaving the GMC," said a source.
Similarly the incumbent chairman of the Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE)
former law secretary G N Tantray, who was re-employed by the ousted NC-Cong regime just a few days before the Model Code of Conduct was enforced ahead of 2014 assembly polls in JK has maintained a low profile since then and is hiding behind his chair, hoping that his appointment goes unnoticed.
Pertinently, Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed last week had ordered the termination with immediate effect of all the employees who were granted re-employment by various government departments.
An official spokesman had said the decision was taken "to rid the state from the scourge of nepotism and rejuvenate administration.
The chief minister had also ordered that engagements, arrangements made by the different departments, PSUs, boards and autonomous bodies under any scheme against any sanctioned posts without any selection procedure, even on contractual basis, shall also cease to exist with immediate effect.
The chief minister had issued these directions to restore the credibility of the administration so that it works in a fair and transparent manner, the spokesman said.
Sources revealed that despite Chief Minister passing clear cut instructions a few people within the administration are trying their best to scuttle the move. "We had assumed that soon after the order was passed the people who were re-employed or were given extension would demit the office on their own or their concerned departments would ask them to leave but things seems to have got stuck," they added.
The delay, sources said, has triggered speculations that "old horses" who had managed to remain in service even after attaining superannuation are utilizing their all possible resources to somehow persuade the new dispensation to retain them. "A few influential people who enjoy a good relation with GAD people have persuaded key officers in the department to go slow," said a source.
A PDP leader while talking to Early Times said, "Our government is committed to get rid of the deadwood and give a chance to new people. Chief Minister's order to terminate the employees who were reemployed or were given extension will be implemented in letter and spirit."
