The department of expenditure has stated that certain clarifications have been
sought from DOT , particularly on pension liability.Earlier the Director (Adm)
of the expenditure department had told us that he returned the file to the section
officer to delete the note on the file regarding pension liability.But intead of
deleting the unnecessary note,the section officer chose to seek clarification from
DOT.When we protested as it involves furthur delay,the reply of the section officer
was ‘why should I take the risk!
Yes,buerocracy has its own methods.Earlier it was the Pension and PW department
which also played the same trick of asking clarification from DOT.
We have written to Ms.Sudha Krishnan, Joint Secretary (Pers), Department
of Expenditure conveying resentment against the undue delay and seeking
her intervention in the matter.
We have also sought an urgent meeting with the Jt.Secretary.
