| Omar to revamp image of coalition in J&K | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, JULY 16 : ON the suggestions of the National Conference President, Dr Farooq Abdullah and the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, has decided to streamline the entire administrative and police machinery in the state making senior government functionaries accessible to people.
The Chief Minister, official sources said, plans to constitute a team of trusted officers who would be asked to act as watch dog not only in the civil secretariat but in other departments.
Instructions are being issued to two Divisional Commissioners to coordinate with the district development commissioners so that senior officers, including those in the police, were easily accessible to people for resolving their problems and difficulties. Official sources said that police authorities are being instructed to ensure that the complaints from any complainant were registered without any delay.
In addition, the Vigilance Organisation is being upgraded with posting of additional staff so that inquiries into various financial irregularities were conducted speedily and the corrupt people were booked under various sections of anti-corruption laws. The state Chief Minister has also been advised to set up a committee of experts that would go into the factors that have been responsible for delay in implementation of various development projects. The committee would be asked to recommend punitive measures against those who were deliberately stalling execution of the development projects.
The Government plans to lay emphasis on the construction of mini power projects that could increase the generation of electricity that was required for mitigating the difficulties of the people in the state. The sectors related to education, health services, industries and rural electrification would receive proper attention. These steps were being taken to remove the impression that the Omar Abdullah led Government had been a Government of nonperformance.
Another sector that the Chief Minister has been advised to lay emphasis was the sector of unemployment. The ambitious employment policy framed in December last year had yet to make any dent in the plan of giving jobs to a large number of unemployed youth. There are over five lakh unemployed youths registered in the employment exchanges in the state and the number would swell to six lakhs within next six months. In this context, the Chief Minister has been advised to work out a scheme which would hasten the process of selection so that besides filling the vacant posts new posts were created for providing jobs to the unemployed youths.
Omar Abdullah may also take with the Union Home Ministry and the Defence Ministry the issue pertaining to fixing some quota for the youth from the state in the paramilitary forces and the Army. Former Chief Minister Mufti Mohd Sayeed had succeeded in motivating the centre on providing jobs to over 7,000 youths in the Army and the paramilitary forces.
