National Cleaning Campaign 2014:
'Systematically rearrange files in
government offices by end of October'
Raipur, (VW) Under National
Cleaning Campaign, State
Government has issued instructions to systematically rearrange the official documents
and files in government offices.
Chief Secretary Vivek Dhand
has instructed all the departments to check all the official
documents
and
files.
Unnecessary documents should
be archived and the documents
with expired time-limit should
be destroyed as per the given
rules and procedure. He has instructed to finish this work by
the end of October. Thereafter,
the senior officials would conduct sudden inspections of their
department offices.
The Chief Secretary has is-
sued circular to Additional Chief
Secretaries,
Principal
Secretaries and Secretaries of
various departments along with
all
the
Divisional
Commissioners,
District
Collectors and CEOs of District
Panchayats. He has mentioned
in the circular that for the pledge
of Clean India, special attention
is being paid to cleanliness.
From September 25 to October
31, not only the office premises
will be cleaned but also the files
and documents inside will be rearranged. It has been noticed
that even after the final redressal
of cases, neither the unnecessary files are sent to record room
nor the outdated files are destroyed. It is noteworthy that in
each department, the redressed
files should be sent to record
room and after a certain period
of time it is disposed off as per
the procedure. But owing to the
work-pressure, officers are unable look after this process of
archiving and disposal of files.
As a result, such files remain
piled up at offices only. After
final redressal, the files are either bundled and kept aside or
are locked up in cupboards and
racked that are hardly checked.
Such bundles of files consume
much of space and gather dust
over the time.
He has instructed that under
Cleanliness Campaign, not only
the office premises and rooms
should be cleaned but the cup-
boards, racks, tables and bundles
should also be checked and rearranged. The outdated files
should be sent to record room or
should be disposed off as per the
relevant rule applied. While
cleaning the record room, the expired files should be disposed as
per the given procedure and
norms. Officials have been instructed to finish this work by
the end of October. It would be
the responsibility of Department
Secretaries and Head of the
Departments to ensure aforementioned works in respective
offices. Chief Secretary mentioned in the circular that concerned senior officials will conduct sudden inspection in the offices, after the month of October.

Patients bear the brunt of doctors` strike
Raipur, (VW) The situation might worsen at
Ambedkar Hospital as striking junior doctors have
threatened to paralyze
emergency medical services
if their demand of a substantial hike in their honorarium is not met.
Hundreds of patients visiting OPD ward are wandering around as junior doctors
remain relentless despite
the Principal Secretary
threatening tough action
against them if they do not
call off their strike.
Though hike in their honorarium remains their
main demand, junior doctors are also exerting pressure on the government to
provide them safe drinking
water, AC-Cooler at trauma
centre and canteen facility
at the hospital.
Patients are now dependent mainly on services
being provided by nurses as
long queues can be seen before pathology and radiology departments being managed by regular employees.
Patients waiting for surgery
are also not sure when they
will be operated upon.
The most difficult problem is being confronted by
children, women and those
suffering from bone related
diseases and cancer.
After examining patients,
few senior doctors are referring them for pathological
tests or x-ray examination
but they are not getting
services on time.
In absence of technicians
and paramedical staff, problems of patients have only
aggravated. Patients visiting trauma centre have the
same fate as medical care is
alarmingly delayed due to
the strike.
Several attendants of patients complained that the
medical facility is not being
provided on time despite admission of their dear ones
to Ambedkar Hospital.
Junior
Doctors
Association President Dr.
Kunal Pal and other doctors
claimed that their demands
were not considered despite
the fact that they raised
them with authorities concerned on several occasions.
They said that they will
not return to their work
until at least 10 percent increase in their honorarium
is made and their other demands are not met.
Hospital Superintendent
Dr. Vivek Choudhary
claimed that the strike had
not impacted the functioning of the hospital much.
Senior doctors are treating
patients and even pathology
and radiology departments
are functioning normally.
DME Pratap Singh had offered an increase of Rs. 2500
in their honorarium and
junior doctors are considering it.
Official sources said that
Junior doctors working in
states like Andhra Pradesh,
West Bengal, Tripura,
Tamil Nadu, Himachal
Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka,
Assam and Gujarat are getting lesser honorarium in
comparison to Chhattisgarh
doctors. Honorarium of junior doctors was increased
two years back.
Junior doctors are PG
medical students too and
hence they are supposed to
persue their studies but instead they have gone on
strike. They will not be
awarded degrees if they
continue their agitation for
a long time, the senior official added.
