Chandel, July 16 2015 :
Anal Lelruwl Tangpi (Anal Students Union) has expressed deep resentment over the frequent absence of departmental heads posted in Chandel District.
Peeved ALT lambasts the heads for failing to attend office regularly.
In a press statement issued by ALT it was said that some department heads are running the office in their residences and due to absence of officers the public have to travel up to Imphal to get the signature which not only inconveniences to the public but also against the office rule.
"It is shocking as well as disappointing to know that these officials donot attend office for days and even for months.
When they do attend, they come on their own convenient time", ALT said.
ALT has started monitoring the functioning of various departments in the district in last few days.
They alleged that most of the offices were locked but some offices which found open also attended by few staff which is befooling the people as though office is functioning.
Saying that the two most efficient heads are Deputy Commissioner & Chief Medical Officer, Chandel District, "The rest are frauds and charged that they draw salary by attending office hardly 5 � 6 days a month.
The Student Union demanded the government to pay their salaries by measuring in their number of attendance but not in monthly basis.
The officers posted at Chandel District are same as heavenly abode and spent quiet & luxurious life at homes alternately the offices where suffering and facing a lot of hardships due to their prolonged absences.
Every system in Chandel is broken & fragile" statement added.
ALT further appealed to the Deputy Commissioner to use his authority which the government empowers him against these erring officials for regular attendance.
The Deputy Commissioner could not turn a blind eye to all these the events.
He would be equally blamed in case nothing concrete measurement is initiated to stop this menace.
ALT pointed out that there are 42 departments in the district, and almost all of them are dysfunctional in the district H/Q Chandel, ALT advises departmental heads to attend office regularly from next week onwards.
The Union will make surprise checking of all the departments, and any office found to be defying this ultimatum may invite serious of unwarranted consequences, fall out at the backdrop of this issue would be solely their responsibility, ALT warned.
