Govt refutes press reports on appointment of DCs
Saturday, 11 August 2007
The government has refuted press reports published in a section of dailies in the last few days relating to the appointment of deputy commissioners (DCs), reports BSS.
In a statement, the government stated these reports were absolutely 'baseless' as the present neutral government has posted only 13 out of 64 DCs after a high-powered secretary committee recommended them to be posted.
"The rest of the 51 DCs have been performing their duties from the previous government's time. Some of them were even appointed during the political government," the statement mentioned, adding the DCs were appointed based on their previous performance reports, honesty, efficiency and neutrality.
So there is no room for the non-party caretaker government to politicise the appointment of DCs, the statement stated, adding the allegations were totally baseless and contrary to facts and objectivity.
It also stated the press reports that were critical of the evaluation report for preparation of the list of secretaries, acting secretaries and additional secretaries were not at all based on facts and objectivity.
The government expressed the hope that the newspapers concerned would refrain from publishing such misleading reports.
