Politically affluent warm up race to Jammu Health Services headship 9/28/2016 12:01:13 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Sept 27: With three days left for the superannuation of incumbent Director Health Services (DHS) Jammu, the politically backed aspirants have put their stakes for the said post and reportedly are running to their heavyweight political masters for their blessings. As expected, the race for this prestigious post has begun and besides those eligible for the coveted chair, many juniors having strong political backing too have staked their claims. Well placed sources within health department said that with so many claimants, there is likelihood of the 'financial aspect' playing a significant role in the selection of the candidate for the post of Director Health Services Jammu. If sources are to be believed, astronomically high financial bids have been offfered by the politically backed incumbents. According to sources four senior officials of the health department are in the race for the post but with the jumping in of few politically backed influential persons the chances for the fair selection are rare as they have started lobbying to get the coveted chair in the Health Department using all means 'be it fair or unfair'. "These politically backed persons are lobbying hard even though they lack the requisite qualification including the seniority for the said post but still they are exploring all options to get the prize posting through the backdoor," sourced maintained. Highly placed sources in health department further said, "Despite government's repeated pronouncement of no political interference in the administrative decisions at various places including State Legislative Assembly, some names of junior cadre are being tossed who have put their claims for this post. "It is not first time when such allegations were made by some officials within Health Department. This has not only discouraged the eligible aspirants but also created ripples within the department for alleged corruption which eats up space of deserving doctors who remained ignored while the blue eyed got their choicest posts in the urban areas" said a senior officer pleading anonymity.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
