The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh JP Rajkhowa on Thursday took a major policy decision by directing for cancellation of all officiating or functional appointments and the promotions made on ‘out of turn’ basis with immediate effect. The Governor has instructed concerned Secretaries and Heads of Departments to issue necessary orders accordingly. The landmark decision if properly implemented will change the fate of Arunachal.
Many government officials who do not have political backing often get deprived when it is matter of promotion. Hard working and honest officials with no political godfather are biggest victim of this rampant corruption. Therefore this order passed by Governor gives ray of hope that henceforth talent and hard work will be rewarded. However he should ensure that order does remain only in paper and is properly implemented by commissioners and secretaries. Further Governor should make sure that even those officials who have retired and are taking pension are brought under the purview of this order. The people of Arunachal have wholeheartedly welcomed the decision of Governor. With this the expectation has risen and people expect more such radical decision for the benefit of citizen. It will be great if Governor start action against those union, association and organization, who indulges in extortion activities, and also create law and order problem. Especially in capital complex there are hundreds of such groups. People are really fed of these groups and want strict action against them.
