POONCH TODAY NEWS

POONCH: Although the staff of the Information department in Poonch, especially the cameraman and the news writer, do a lot in presenting a good image of the Poonch administration by taking professional photos from all the angles and using good words in the news write-ups, the ground conditions speak to a different side of the story in maximum public-oriented matters.

The common man of Poonch is facing several problems on which the administration has not shown any attention, but those sitting at the top levels seem to have no interest in addressing public issues already projected by “POONCH TODAY” time and again. A sensational issue with proof has come to the notice of “POONCH TODAY,” which shows an awful state of affairs in the administration. Some of the government officials who are enjoying government accommodation have been drawing full salaries, including HRA, which is an open violation of financial rules. This has started a big debate in the public domain that those officials of the administration holding important positions are always seen dictating terms and conditions to the public on various issues, but when it comes to themselves, they love to violate the government rules openly because they think that nobody will take them to task because of their prestigious positions. DC Poonch, who was always seen busy in departmental meetings, needs to take action in the matter by initiating an inquiry department-wise and bringing to justice those officials who have indulged in this open violation of rules. It is important to mention here that a government employee cannot draw HRA in salary if using any type of government accommodation. But who cares in the Poonch administration, as some officials were openly seen violating the rules. The people of the district are facing various issues on the ground, but nobody in civil society is ready to discuss any type of administrative lacuna because mostly civil society members give preference to their self-interest only and cannot think of having questionable relations with the administration. They all have no public interest but all are working for their self-interest only by forming pseudo relations with the administration just to be in the so-called good books of the administration to win different types of favors. If some officials of the Poonch administration openly indulge in such financial violations, then it’s an easy example of the state of affairs in the administration, which has not addressed basic public concerns like irregular water supply, encroachments, and other issues of public importance, not to mention other major issues. Will the DC Poonch order an inquiry into the matter against those officials, enjoying official accommodation, who have brazenly violated the financial rules by getting HRA also in their salaries?
