PANJIM: Revenue Minister Rohan Khaunte’s outburst that bureaucrats of departments under Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar were stalling movement of files, has yielded results.
The minister stated that files pertaining to his department have now started moving. “A lot of files have started moving. There is no illegality, I do not understand why the files were caught up at the bureaucrats’ level,” he said.
Recently, Khaunte had alleged that some officers were misusing the absence of the ailing CM and stalling government schemes. He had also alleged that officers in the Finance and Administration departments were playing “merry-go-round” with the files.
“A section of bureaucrats are taking advantage of the situation and making it difficult to implement government schemes related to e-governance and making the state an information-technology hub. For last 18 months, I worked 16-18 hours a day to ensure that several things get implemented by the departments under me. It is getting delayed and my team is getting de-motivated to take up new things,” he had said.
