Public representations disposed without considering content: Harsh 8/21/2016 10:57:46 PM Jammu, Aug 21: Taking a pot-shot at the red tape and casual approach prevailing in the highest offices of the country, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP has expressed his antipathy and disgust with the manner the grievances and complaints of the public are being dealt with by majority of the Union Ministries including those under the charge of the Prime Minister. He said that while on certain occasions, the public representations are being disposed of by the said ministers without going through their contents, several public complaints are forwarded to subordinate officers who never responded or initiated any action thereupon. He said that the tall claims of the high offices regarding redressal of the grievances of the public through representations and complaints were largely for media consumption only with facts loudly defying the govt. assertions. Making a particular mention of a petition made to the Prime Minster holding the charge of Ministry of Personnel and Training and Public Grievances, Singh, said that he had represented to the former regarding the blatant violation by the J&K State govt. of IAS (cadre) 2nd Amendment Rules 2016 as duly notified by the Deptt. of DOPT, GOI. He said that he had petitioned to the PM that the said rules which prohibited the premature transfers of IAS officers without a valid reason, without such reasons having been recorded in writing and without the recommendation of 'Civil Services Board' had been violated by the state govt in issuing the premature transfer of Shahid Iqbal from District Udhampur which needed the due cognizance of DOPT. He said that in his petition he had made a mention of the state, national and international awards conferred upon Shahid Iqbal for his meritorious and outstanding services. He said that petition had further stated that the pre-mature transfer of a highly decorated officer and that too in violation of DOPT rules had demoralized the honest and dedicated officers of the state which needed due cognizance of the PM as Minister in charge DOPT. Expressing his dismay over the reply of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Trainings received after around two and a half months Singh said that the former had stated that the Chief Secretary of the J&K State had been directed to take 'appropriate action' in respect of the 'complaint' filed against Shahid Iqabal.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
