It has been written in the correspondence that the matter may be treated as urgent. It has been sent on the email of secretary legislative assembly on his personal email address [email protected]. In the meantime, Early Times has learnt from sources that many officers as well as officials in the legislative assembly secretariat have been promoted without the verification of documents. They said that it was after this disturbing development that CBK received a complaint following which they shot the correspondence to secretary legislative assembly. "At the legislative assembly secretariat the draft rules have been thrown into the dustbin. Over the years blue-eyed officers as well as officials have been promoted in violation of laid down rules and regulations. Although, the concerned quarters were contacted in this regard by the aggrieved employees, but very little action whatsoever was taken against the erred," said sources. Sources said the employees designated as drivers in the assembly secretariat have been kept aside and two close aides of the higher-ups belonging to the Watch and Ward section are driving the official vehicles of assembly secretariat. They said the incumbent secretary is very keen for adjustment of these employees as drivers in the department. "The secretary of the assembly is keeping the designated drivers idle with the travelling allowance (TA) and haltage charges being extracted from the ex-chequer. The same are paid to the illegally designated drivers of the assembly and this too needs a probe by the competent agency," said sources. Sources said that Deputy Secretary Farooq Ahmad who is overall head of accounts section is retiring in the April. They said secretary legislative assembly has forwarded his case to the law department for extension in his services on the honorarium of Rs. 35,000 per month adding that the file is under process. |
