Chandigarh Feb. 05,
2021:- Ministerial & Secretarial Employees
Union, PGIMER, Chandigarh is holding this Press conference due to highly
corruptious behavior of the PGI Administration towards the serious issues
raised by the Union.
Union of PGI Employees
raised the issue in consonance with the directions, orders and directives of
the GoI on recommendations of the 2nd Cadre Review implementation at PGIMER,
Chandigarh. The Government of India issued directive vide letter dated
06.08.2001 restricting the promotional avenue in the Ministerial cadre on the
lines of the 2nd cadre review orders, however, Institute through its middle
level Officers severely violated the directives of the GoI by granting
financial and promotional benefits to the class without any conceptual
hierarchy directed by the Government of India, Ministry of Health & Family
Welfare.
The Institute acted
arbitrarily & illegally by allowing financial upgradation to the Clerks of
the Institute who never ever accepted the directives issued by the GoI vide
directive letter dated 06.08.2001 and granted provisional up-gradation to the
Clerks of the Institute on provisional basis vide Office Order dated 24.03.2001
allowed to be continuedly disrbursed till date inspite of failure of the
acceptance of condition allowing financial up-gradation in the order dated
24.03.2001.
This is not only the height
of illegality but the PGI administration also allowed promotions to the
ineligible class without following the Government of India directives dated
06.08.2001 and grant promotions to the category where there is no description
and enforcement of the Recruitment Rules. The Union has been representing both
the issues after the failure of the PGI Employees Union (Non-Faculty) and it is
since more than one year that the PGI administration has failed to even discuss
and deliberate the issue because of involvement of the middle level officer who
has already been assaulted for his misconducts for taking bribe and has acted
in the similar manner to bury the voice of the Union.
Since, the recruitment of
the concerned Officer as well as his working are question with the Institute as
he has taken dual Ex-servicemen advantage for getting re-employed in the Civil
services which is a separate issue but his intention to sit on the charge
without having any sanctioned post for dealing such cases shows the clear
nexus.
The ministerial staff
associated and posted in the concerned Establishment dealing with the issues raised
buy the Union are themselves the culprit being the beneficiaries as already
indicated above and biggest shotism is that they themselves are dealing with
the files wherein the objections have been raised by the Union.
The Union has already
reported the matter with the Government of India, Ministry of Personnel, Public
Grievances & Pensions, Chief Vigilance Commission, New Delhi, Chief
Vigilance Officer, Chandigarh, Chief Vigilance Officer, PGIMER, Chandigarh,
Head of Bureau, Senior Superintendent of Police for getting inquiry into
alleged charges against the PGI Administration.
It is also a fact that the
not only the Union Health Minister, the President of the Institute, but as well
as other Government machineries like Vigilance department, Greivance Redressal
Reforms, Police Department, Economic Offenses Wing are misguided with
unilateral at the level of the PGI Administration without allowing the Union to
present and project the factual positons about the ill acts of the Institutes.
Keeping in view the
corruptious, adamant, illegal & unwarranted behavior of the Institute, the
Ministerial & Secretarial Employees Union is forced to go for National
Press conference after exhausting all the remedies of Government machinery and
the prevellege of power being misused by the Adminstrator of the PGIMER,
Chandigarh as well as his failure to put nail in the nose of the culprits
manipulating the directives of the GoI to continue with the State Ex-chequer to
the State which has been accounted as more than Rs. 150 crores with
monthly accuring amount of Rs. 60 Lakhs.
This is the case of
exceptional type of corruption and loot of Public money wherein promotions to
the hierarchy has been allowed in violation of the directions / directives of
the Government of India and enjoying the disbursement of the Public money in
the shape of enhanced salaries so that Audit objection can even not arised that
how such payments have been allowed to the such beneficiaries.
The Audit party has also
failed to place on record that how the budget allocated to the PGIMER,
Chandigarh under Planned budgetary head for the sanctioned posts to the
Institute, is being utilized on other budgetary heads for which Union has also
filed RTI but the Financial department has failed to supply the information.
Through this Press
conference, we the office bearer of the Ministerial & Secretarial Employees
Union limelight the corruptious act and loot of State Ex-chequer and is fully
prepared to supply all the documents support to allegations leveled against the
PGI Administration. We would also appreciate if the comments of the Director,
PGi are also sought towards the allegations alleged on the PGI Administration
by the Union.
Apart from this, following
other issues with serious concerns have also been raised where no action of the
administration towards preventive measures have been taken till date:
1. OA. No. 179 of 2017 was
the result of the illegal selection of Office Superintendent which was struck
down by the Vigilance Cell but are still working on those critical seats where
the matter is being dealt.
2. Posting of the
supervisory staff / other staff in violation of the Chief Viglance Commission
guidelines and Supervisory staff is allowed to continue the present place of posting
on which they have been promoted. Office Superintendent (FAX), Office
Superintendent (Room Allotment), Office Superintendent (Diary), Office
Superintendent (Desptatch) etc. The administrative work has been hampered so
badly that Supervisory staff is performing the new entrants job
responsibilities.
3. There is no post of
Senior Administrative Officer (T), however, just to oblige and misutilization
of the post, Hospital Administration has been allocated with the profile of
Senior Administrative Officer post.
4. Almost 40% percent of
the ministerial cadre posts are lying vacant for the want of moving of channel
so that resultant vacancy can occur and sanctioned posts can be filled
diverting the financial sanctions to the post and spending them on other budgetary
heads.
Other cadre related issues
gradation list, closing of roster points on each calendar year, implementation
of Post Based Reservation Roster, following of Citizen Charter issued by
PGIMER, Chandigarh while disposing the representation of the employees have
also been raised.
