Excelsior Special Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 13: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah as well as Chief Secretary Madhav Lal have been articulately convinced in all review meetings by the men from Ministry of Health, Mission Directorate and Directorates of Health Services in Kashmir and Jammu that work on the UPA Government’s flagship project was going on smoothly in Jammu & Kashmir. Chief Minister functions as the Chairman of the highest level State Rural Health Mission (SRHM) and Chief Secretary operates as Chairman of the Governing Body of J&K State Health Society (SHS). Both, the head of the State Government as well as the head of the State bureaucracy, have been publicly allergic to generalization of the allegations of corruption, nepotism and favouritism. They have always asked for the “proof” of specific actions and incidents. However, when, purely in the public interest, Excelsior published how junior officials of the rank of Assistant Director had been operating as Heads of Departments in the Health sector, there was not even a customary clarification or rejoinder from the Government.
