An Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer went missing from a restaurant in Rajasthan's Alwar district on Tuesday morning, leaving behind a note for his wife and son saying they should take care of themselves. Can a person responsible for governing an entire department or district be such irresponsible ?
He was said to be harassed by politicians and senior bureaucrats. Known to be an honest officer, Jain was reportedly upset over the fact that he was asked to vacate an official accommodation where he just moved in, even before an alternative accommodation was provided.Originally hailing from Haryana , this Rajasthan cadre IAS was a company secretary before joining civil service.Jain was collector and district magistrate in Karauli, Hanumangarh and Baran Districts.
This is not a first case in 2010 a UP cader IAS had quit his job because of political harassment.Recently there was a news that UP chief Minister made an officer wipe her shoes . Regional Commissioner, Bangalore but was summarily transferred within 20 days after his posting. Vijayakumar was about to introduce a system where in the public would be allowed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to see files without making any application between 2.30 pm and 5.30 pm on every second and fourth Tuesday of every month. He also planned to make web viewing of the file. These developments threatened many corrupt people and he was transferred just 2 days before launch of the program. ,though these are few examples where tussle can be avoided but because of ego !
Our politicians have become notorious in harassment of offices and people. Greatest blunder committed by our Constitution frameres is treating politicians who are not selected by any neutral committee as superb and even more powerful than IAS and IPS officers who have good qualification and selected by competitive commissions. How can a politicians who has no qualification and experience but only elected by people by any means be superiors? Due to this mistake country and its honest people suffer. Besides politicians during their term only must get only honorarium and not salary and perks. If this is implemented rish for political posts get reduced and only patriots enter politics.
