Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 17: Though Crime Branch has recently produced fifth charge sheet in much publicized ETT scam but big fish are still out of Crime Branch grip as several politicians, who had reaped benefits from ETT colleges despite having no infrastructure, are being untouched due to reasons best known to the authorities.
Sources informed Early Times that in district Kathua alone many ETT colleges were sanctioned in favour of some politicians and those having close allegiance to corridors of power.
These ETT college owners had shown the same infrastructure for getting permission for School, B.Ed and ETT colleges. "They do not fulfill even the basic norms and standards laid down by the National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE), but NOC was issued by Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education. Permissions to these institutions were given in gross violation of the laid down norms", sources said.
The ETT institutions, which were given permission by JKBOSE and bereft of infrastructure include Cosmic ETT institute and Nirman ETT institute of Kathua being run by an outsider, who even was not a state subject holder.
Other institutes were RB ETT institute and Kranti institute having no infrastructure and was owned by a close relative of a cabinet minister, Rajeev Gandhi, Surya, New Age institute, being run by a politician of Kathua.
Other institutes were UKS, Diwan Memorial, Choudhary Dharmodevi ETT institutes. A senior Congress leader in Jammu has Law College, B.Ed College and ETT college running from the same building. Moreover an incumbent Cabinet Minister, has two ETT colleges.
The permission to all these institutions was granted by the then state government in violation of laid down norms but so far Crime Branch has not touched these big sharks in ETT scam, an official of JKBOSE alleged, adding that there seemed something fishy in the matter as those having close links in corridors of power have been running scot free.
Senior Superintendent of Police Crime Branch Jammu Mubassir Latifi said that at-least three more charge-sheets would be produced before the High Court, in which several other names would be made public. He further said that none would be spared in the ETT Scam. |
