Dilip Cherian | To fight image problem, UP babus told to scan local news

Deccan Chronicle  

Additional chief secretary of Uttar Pradesh Navneet Sehgal has recently written to districts/block/tehsil information officers to monitor the news that is published at the micro-level. Recently, the man in charge of transforming the road transportation sector, said that babus should only say “yes, sir” to whatever the mantris say since the government runs on the diktat of the minister. IPS officers shy off from Central deputation Only three senior IPS officers have sought a posting on Central deputation, underlining the continuing shortage of All India Services officers in the Union government. This is despite 263 vacancies for IPS officers in at least 17 central organisations including CBI, IB and the Central Armed Police Forces. Perhaps the reluctance of senior IPS officers can be traced to the amended IPS tenure policy announced by the home ministry earlier in February, in which it did away with the mandatory requirement of empanelment of IPS officers at the DIG level.
