DODA, Sept 25: The officers and officials of Planning, Development and Monitoring Department have started two days pen down strike against the recent decision of State Accountability Commission (SAC).
The decision was taken in a meeting of officers and officials at civil secretariat followed by meetings at all district headquarters.
The decision of SAC is totally unilateral and biased where in Finance Department has encroached upon the roles and responsibilities of the Planning Department, said an officer while addressing the gathering during pen down strike.
The officers expressed deep anguish and dismay as to why the recent cabinet decision of BJP-PDP led Government of empowering Planning Department has been over ruled without consulting the senior officers in the State.
It is pertinent to mention that Planning Department has always shouldered responsibilities assigned to it in most turbulent times in the State and officers of its cadre have proved their mettle time and again.
The officers urged upon the Governor, his Advisors and Chief Secretary to immediately rollback the decision of SAC, which they call is totally unjustified and could prove hazardous to the age old system put in place by successive Governments.
Later, the officers of the department submitted a memorandum projecting their demands to District Development Commissioner (DDC) Doda Simrandeep Singh.
DDC assured the officers of taking their demands with the concerned authorities for immediate redressal.
