Civil aviation secy lashes out at his top officials

New Delhi: Civil aviation secretary MM Nambiar has hit out at top officials of his Ministry saying their attitude had embarrassed him and the Ministry.
The sharp reaction followed a meeting of the Committee on Government Assurances (CoGA) last week, which found Ministry’s replies to various issues "totally unsatisfactory".
Ordering an "internal enquiry", the secretary has recommended action against the Director/ Deputy Secretary concerned — relatively senior officials — responsible for this embarrassment.
The CoGA, chaired by BJP MP Maneka Gandhi, met on May 25. Incidentally, the same day, sone Air India employees had proceeded on a flash strike.
Nambiar, in a letter —accessed by HT — to his joint -secretaries soon after his return from the meeting said replies to issues and assurances given by the Ministry were unsatisfactory and were adversely commented by the chairperson and the members of the panel.
"It is clear there has been no application of mind and these have been sent in a routine manner. It is most unfortunate to note that the joint-secretaries have also not applied their mind but have sent these in a routine manner. This has caused embarrassment not only to me personally but to the Ministry of Civil Aviation," Nambiar wrote.
