It wasn't just that. Ripun Bora (Education Minister) personally paid
surprise visits to a number of schools, and education offices. There had been
an investigation of irregular appts. Result: a number of teachers and higher
officials (Sptd and Dy.sptds) were arrested. A case has been registered.
In the medical admissions case - same thing. There are presumably some
daktors practising (who ought not to have got admissions in the first place
--but for some ghoos and scams). They too are under investigation ans some
arrests have been made.
Then there is this pension scam.
>Hati-sur kori aage-aage jai, bengena-swork dhore kind
This time some hati-surs have also been nabbed. That I think is the
difference. I think it is a good first step. I usually have a pretty low
opinion of what the GOA usually does - but when it takes a positive step - we
ought to be able to recognize that too.

heheh!. Would some grovelling on my part help the
situation? I am willing to that if it will do the
convincing:-)

*** 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

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
By A Staff Reporter
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.
