Red-tapesinm- A myth !

 
During my childhood days, I read on a wall painting  that system could function in better way if IASs and IPSs start to perform in a fair manner. With the passage of time , through my book I Came to know that, these IASs and IPSs are the bureaucrats and one out of the four important pillars of the democracy. Same books enlightened me that the same bureaucracy have their own loop holes. Red-tapeism is one of them. In general , we can define red-tapeism as  collection or sequence of forms and procedures required to gain bureaucratic approval for something. Everybody in his life at a certain point surely have been the victim of the same . Either a commoner or an learned person, can speak on the same with out any coaching or training.But , we are not here to show how slow our system is. In fact, we want you to know the other side of the coin. How fast our bureaucrats can work when vested interstates are there. It is the case of Social welfare Department of Delhi Government. I would like to share , a file walked three offices and 14 desks in two days. Out of these 14 desks 11 desks were crossed in a single day. It seemed the whole department from top to bottom working to clear the file.Lt. Gen. of Delhi and Chief Secretary were the part of this unusual chain.  It becomes more suspicious when  these efforts were made out to revoke the suspension of a tainted colleague. We are not against  why the officers worked so swiftly. In fact it is good. But unfortunately, swiftness is missing when it is necessary for the common man. This time almost all the department rallied behind the suspended employee and acted like a rocket. But the same system becomes ttortoise when it comes other public oriented work.The whole episode strengthen the notion the system works to save erring ones instead of fixing them up. Take the example of pending cases in the Courts and pending files in the various departments. I got to learn in school days that we are suffering because Government employees do not work. Here, I watched them working like a rocket but to save a man who is suspected to be involved in a scam of 10 Cr ore. So being a common man, I am on a lost end in both situations.
