Government Means Business
RECENTLY the PMO invited some clerks and Private Secretaries for an interactive session in the PMO for assessing their suitability for posting in the PMO. Some of these babus simply did not turn up - see the respect they have for the Prime Minister's Office.PMO has not taken lightly to this impudence. It has asked the Ministry concerned to seek explanation from them as to why they did not appear for the interaction. They can all produce certificates that they had stomach-ache or backache or some other ache which cannot be disproved. The babus are having too much of a good time and it is time they learn a little accountability and responsibility.
In another case this week, an IPS officer was appointed as CVO in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL). As she did not take charge of the post, her appointment is cancelled.
This officer is debarred from consideration for central deputation for a period of five years w.e.f. 04.02.2015.
In addition to the debarment from central deputation, she is also debarred from being considered for any foreign training and also from being given cadre clearance for being deputed on foreign assignments/consultancies abroad during the period of debarment.
Selection to a post involves an elaborate process and if the selected officers do not join, it causes immense damage to the system.
