Corruption fast spreading in the state like bubonic plague: Harsh 8/22/2016 10:53:56 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 22: Expressing grave concern over growing culture of corruption in the state, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman and Former Minister today appealed the Chief Minister to strengthen the anti graft bodies including SAC, SVC and SIC in conformity with her slogans of bringing accountability and transparency in govt. functioning. According to press release, he said that the deep rooted culture of patronized corruption was fast spreading its tentacles and had plagued and engulfed the entire system in the absence of an effective control mechanism. He said that most alarming aspect of corruption was not the money exchanging hands in the unwholesome bargains but the open defiance of norms and laws, fearlessness and the audacity displayed by the corrupt elements in executing such illegal bargains. He was addressing huge public meetings in Thial and Manwal towns of Ramnagar constituency. Addressing large gatherings, he said that the recent past witnessed a mad race amongst various ministries for effecting transfers of govt. functionaries without having any regard for the aptitude, efficiency or suitability of the incumbents. He said that thousands of transfers effected in the most arbitrary and clandestine manner had exposed the ministers besides MLAs who recommended such transfers and had exploded the myth of good governance. He said the transfers which were supposed to be made in the interest of administration for making the delivery of public services efficacious and efficient were made on monetary and other extraneous considerations and had created a lot of resentment amongst the general masses and govt. employees. Calling for a probe into the transfer Industry which flourished in the recent past in the Deptts. of Health, Education, Forest, Power, Revenue, PHE and Social Welfare particular, Mr. Singh called for the constitution of SIT to unearth the alleged extraneous considerations and violations of prescribed norms. He said premature transfers running into several hundreds in the said Deptts. in violation of Transfer policy and stipulated norms had beaten all previous records of whimsical transfers and needed due cognizance of the chief Minister.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
