*** Heh-heh Ram. So you read that as "tackling"
corruption, do you?
I shouldda known :-).
Since WHEN has "reporting" of corrupt " teacher
apptmt--" or what have you ,
become synonymous with "tackling" corruption
Ram?

records and arresting and flushing out these con artists.
*** They ARE? You sure could have fooled me! Flushing them OUT
has been going on for decades. Everybody knows what goes on. But there
is NO deterrence. Nobody is or could be held accountable by the
dysfunctional desi system of useless governmental institutions. The
courts do not have a thirty year backlog because the crimes have not
been flushed out, with MOST of the cases being filed by the
'government'. They do not get CONCLUDED, or if concluded, without
anyone being held accountable. That is why it goes on unabated.
The word "tackling" could be used ONLY when some
perceptible ACTION has taken place, after a competent and timely
investigation, concluded with a fair and fitting adjudication, which
would vindicate the innocent, but punish the guilty, so that
deterrence could be set up.
*** Furthermore, Hati-sur kori aage-aage jai, bengena-swork dhore
kind of activity does not do ANYTHING to create either deterrence or
create respect for the rule of law.
*** But I am sure those Oxomiyas who perceives your commentary as
little more
than Oxomiya bashing as an antidote for their sovereignty
aspirations, would appreciate your applause, even if it is not very
convincing , even if it is highly premature :-).
First, there were reports of school teachers appointed based on fake credentials, then we had admissions into medical colleges based on fake credentials (some of these have even become doctors). The GOA is going back into records and arresting and flushing out these con artists.
And now this multi-crore pension scam. The other areas the GOA could focus on are
The Sales Tax department (one of the most corrupt)
The GMC, the ASEB, and District Transport Office. We all know there is long list, but the GOA ought to be commended for at least taking these bold steps.

Dy Supdt, 3 others nabbed

GUWAHATI, Sept 2 - In a sensational case, four persons, including the Deputy Superintendent of the Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH), Dr Ranjit Kumar Deka, have been arrested following the busting of a multi-crore financial scam involving the GMCH, the Accountant General (AG) office and the Treasury office. The other three persons arrested in this connection are Sanjib Majumdar, senior accountant, AG office; Srichand Valmiki, sweeper supervisor, GMCH; and Amarjit Singh, also sweeper supervisor, GMCH.
"Ninety-eight fake pension payment orders (PPOs) have been seized and the kingpins of the rackets arrested," police said
It is suspected that the scam, involving crores of government money, started in 1995 and continued till 2005, police said.
Fake pension papers in the names of grade-IV employees, especially sweepers, were initiated by the establishment, and the pension branch of the office of the Superintendent, GMCH. Fake death certificates, photographs and various other documents were prepared and sent to the AG office for approval of pension.
"The modus operandi had been that some staff of the AG office, in connivance with the GMCH staff, approve the pension and prepare the pension payment orders (PPOs), which are sent to the Treasury office. The Treasury office then prepares the pensions, and the money withdrawn is shared among the treasury office, AG office staff, GMCH officials and some sweeper supervisors (havildars), police said.
Further investigation by the police is on. It is likely that the police would be making more arrests in the days to come.
