Naxal Scourge....

After news of yesterday's dastardly attack I call up my Respected Friend, a Retired Senior Bureaucrat, who lives in Shimla. After pleasantries we get chatting.

Me: What a dastardly attack!!
Respected Friend: Well there is blame on this side too...like what happened to the Report on the previous attack...some internal Politics blocking matters ...then was there a ROP ....Road Opening Party ....prior to the Platoon passing ...or did they have intelligence reports about passage being clear.. by the way CRPF have ROP expertise ..
M: Someone was telling me these are months when attacks take place because road construction is in full swing ...I think CRPF should have been extra cautious...
RF: Simple ...with Naxals if you show complacency or carelessness ...or don't respond to their attacks .....rest assured they are going to get bolder ... in the jungle they are entrenched so our Men are at a disadvantage as it is..the only logic that works with them is ... 1:10...they kill one of yours ..you kill 10 of theirs... it's a war ....
M: Yes Naxals don't consider themselves as Citizens of India...so it cannot be construed that India is waging a war on its Citizens ...
RF: In the initial stages...way back in 1967 ...if the Government then had shown guts and wiped them out when they had no foothold ...today this scourge would not have existed..but then our Governments were afflicted to playing to the International Gallery....and sad part is now via JNU types of Institutions there is a group that expound Naxalism .. you also have intelligentsia talking Naxalism.. it's fashionable !!
M: And how can we forget the Pakistan angle ....its a huge web.. Arms from Pakistan routed via Nefarious lot here ..cash and barter...drugs.....gold....
RF: Well both Modi and Rajnath have said that this dastardly act will not go unpunished ...or Naxals are going to get only bolder ...next they may even get ambitious and attack a nearby Town or Village ....they have a cruel way of protesting ...
M: And no way should decisions to appoint Heads for Paramilitary Forces be delayed...
RF: Yes...though the delay in appointing a Head had no bearing on this attack...I think the local CRPF Command have some answering to do... Rajnath Singh is getting a ear full on SM....are you ready for the MCD results tomorrow ...during out talk I could make out you were munching and sipping off and on..
M: Advance Celebration..with Chana Dal Mithai and tea... to celebrate AAP's defeat..India does not need such kind of politics.. .
RF: Itna gussa... chalo cheers...I'm going to dig into your fav..Gulab Jamuns from Baljis.... see you soon.. bye!!

Over the years Civil Services Day has become IAS Day

It is true over the years Civil Services Day has become only IAS Day. This time the makeover was complete as rewards were also given only for the best implementation of several Pradhan Mantri yojnas which only IAS officers in the field mostly of districts level deal with. This is quite unfair not to recognise the contribution made by officers of other services Like Indian Revenue Services ,Railways and others. Some of them have done excellent work in a very challenging environment .Non recognition of their contribution is demoralising.

Exclusive domain of the IAS on Civil Services Day

In fact, One Secretary asked me if I have attended (invited to ) the Civil Services Day anytime !!! I was Addl Secy of the Ministry but non - IAS. That much is the ownership / exclusive domain of the IAS on Civil Services Day.

"Need for circumspection"

Personality Tests (Interviews) for Civil Services (Mains)-2016 are underway in UPSC. The interviewees are stripped of pens, wrist watches, mobile phones or some concealed devices, fearing illegal recording. Just and fair. But, why are interview Board members exempted? They allegedly keep searching for questions to be posed to the aspirants? Thanks to the Google search engine. Mobiles are not always switched off but kept on silent mode. Vulnerability to outside pressure is open to question. This adversely and avoidably impacts the credibility of a Constitutional body like the UPSC, that is considered just and fair . Appropriate steps need be taken by the authorities concerned. Similar remedial measures should apply to other recruitment bodies includingthe Staff Selection Commission , an arm of DOP&T, headed PM Modi, himself.

Chhattisgarh massacre : What are officials sitting in cozy comforts doing ?

Yesterday's massacre of CRPF personnel in the same area has not been new this has been going on for the last 10 years irrespective of any govt any HM or any DG because policies are framed in cozy comforts of Raiseena and none has been in field. This will happen and it has become part of any news. Have we heard any DIG, IG, ADG, Spl. DG or DG becoming a victim of these incidents, none, they are confined to their offices enjoying life. It will not be surprising, if I mention that more than 60% are part of drivers, sweepers, cook, orderly, washermen and doing other sundry duties and large part of them working at the residences of offices and serving their families and lucky ones working with MHA and PMO etc. here also doing menial work but satisfied that they are not in battlefield. Out this 40% will be doing intelligence and operation duties. In these circumstances these incidents are bound to happen as we are not improving there working conditions, fighting strength. Whoever wants to point out is sidelined, as in the case of BSF personnel who pointed out about bad quality of food. HM, DG etc will go and shed crocodile tears and come back and wait for next incidents to happen. What are naxal officers sitting in MHA and CRPF doing ? Why this illiterate radicalised force is always able to kill these highly trained soldiers again and again. Dear Prime Minister this situation will never improve and incidents will keep on happening.
