Panaji:
Goa's babus ( bureaucrats) will have to think twice before using
their government vehicles for their early morning ritualistic
visit to the local fish market.
According to a circular issued by the state government's general
administration department Friday, Rs.500 would be deducted from
the salary of a bureaucrat for using the allotted government
vehicle for private purpose.
"The secretaries, heads of departments and other officers
authorized under Rule43 are permitted to use the vehicle for
private purposes also, if they so desire, subject to the condition
that an amount of Rs.500 per month is compulsorily deducted from
their salary and fuel should not exceed quota
allotted/sanctioned," said an order issued by under secretary Ajit
Pawaskar.
The social media network in the recent past was alive with several
photographs of government vehicles being either used for private
and recreational purposes like shopping, dropping children to
school, visiting cinema halls, casinos among others.
