171 appointed under NHM without interviews, applications | In PDP-BJP regime transparency became a casualty | | Early Times Report Jammu, July 27: Transparency in appointments during PDP-BJP coalition government was thrown to winds as over 171 employees including doctors and paramedical staff was engaged under National Health Mission (NHM) scheme without inviting any applications or conducting written test or any interview. According to sources in the Health and Medical Education department, the then Director of National Health Mission had got engaged over 171 employees including Doctors and paramedical staff for temporary engagement of 89 days. There was no notification for the appointment of doctors or paramedical staff was issued by the NHM Directorate. Later no application was invited or any written test or interviews for the posts were conducted by the Directorate but a total of 171 employees were engaged on temporary positions for 89 days. "The engagement orders were issued on the pretext of smooth functioning of hospitals and patient care but a question arises why so much urgency had fallen that no application forms were invited for any engagement of the employees", sources said, adding that all these orders were issued in a particular period of time. "Who were the beneficiaries of these orders either the blue-eyed candidates of some politicians, bureaucrats on near or dear ones of the already engaged employees", sources said, adding that no free choice was given to the thousands of unemployed professional youth of the state to contest for the posts. Sources further alleged that the candidates belonging from the particular constituencies of PDP-BJP legislators were engaged by the department, only to appease their voters and party workers. "It was also unknown whether the employees and doctors who are engaged through backdoor channels have valid degrees or diplomas or not. Though BJP-PDP always blamed the previous coalition for promoting nepotism and corruption in appointments, but it also followed the footprints of their predecessors", sources alleged and now the department has decided to scrutinize the appointments and would soon submit a report to government but a question remained there as whether the officials and politicians responsible for such mess would be punished or not. |
