Jammu, Sept 27: With three days left for the
superannuation of incumbent Director Health Services (DHS) Jammu, the
politically backed aspirants have put their stakes for the said post and
reportedly are running to their heavyweight political masters for their
blessings.
As expected, the race for this prestigious post has
begun and besides those eligible for the coveted chair, many juniors having
strong political backing too have staked their claims.
Well placed sources within health department said that
with so many claimants, there is likelihood of the 'financial aspect' playing a
significant role in the selection of the candidate for the post of Director
Health Services Jammu.
If sources are to be believed, astronomically high
financial bids have been offfered by the politically backed incumbents.
According to sources four senior officials of the health department are in the
race for the post but with the jumping in of few politically backed influential
persons the chances for the fair selection are rare as they have started
lobbying to get the coveted chair in the Health Department using all means 'be
it fair or unfair'.
"These politically backed persons are lobbying
hard even though they lack the requisite qualification including the seniority
for the said post but still they are exploring all options to get the prize
posting through the backdoor," sourced maintained.
Highly placed sources in health department further
said, "Despite government's repeated pronouncement of no political
interference in the administrative decisions at various places including State
Legislative Assembly, some names of junior cadre are being tossed who have put
their claims for this post.
"It is not first time when such allegations were
made by some officials within Health Department.
This has not only discouraged the eligible aspirants
but also created ripples within the department for alleged corruption which
eats up space of deserving doctors who remained ignored while the blue eyed got
their choicest posts in the urban areas" said a senior officer pleading
anonymity.
