I shouldda known :-).
Since WHEN has "reporting" of corrupt " teacher apptmt--" or what have

become synonymous with "tackling" corruption Ram?

*** 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.

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.
