All India Postal Joint Council of Action released its Strike Campaign Tour Programme
CVC for changes in law to nail corrupt babus
Besides seeking more special trial courts, the apex anti-corruption watchdog has asked the government to relook the legal and statutory powers it has for initiating probe against corrupt officials that would help in the speedy disposal of corruption cases.
"There is a need to amend the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 197 of CrPC to enable faster sanction from authorities concerned to speed up inquiry and the judicial process," Chief Vigilance Commissioner Pratyush Sinha told a news agency.
Sinha also said, "We have requested the government to increase the number of special courts to speed up the trials under the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act." At present an estimated 40 special courts have been set up for the trial of cases under the PCA.
"There are certain types of cases where disciplinary authorities are reluctant to give accord in time to take necessary action against corrupt employees. There is a need of taking a fresh look into some legal and statutory powers given to us," he added.
As per the provision, the Central Vigilance Commission has to inform a panel led by the Cabinet Secretary before initiating inquiries against officers of the rank of joint secretary and above in the Central government.
The CVC said government departments must use information technology enabled services including floating tenders for procurement and in recruitment to keep at bay human interference.

Retirement age for nursing teachers increased to 65
The union cabinet Thursday enhanced the retirement age of nursing teachers with postgraduate qualification to 65, in order to prevent an 'exodus' and help retain trained staff.
The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, said Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni.
Pointing out that the nursing teachers presently retire at 60, Soni said: 'The decision would help in prevention of exodus and retention of teachers in the central government's nursing institutions and help them provide quality healthcare facilities.'
'There is an acute shortage of nursing teachers with postgraduate degrees in nursing. A large number of posts of teachers with M.Sc. (Nursing) are lying vacant in the various central government nursing institutions,' said the minister.
'As an immediate step to check further depletion in the availability of faculty, the union cabinet decided to enhance the age of superannuation from existing 60 years to 65 years,' she added.
'The National Commission on Macroeconomics of Health has estimated a wide gap in demand and supply of nurses in near future,' said Soni adding that the commission has also recommended opening of new nursing colleges and upgrading existing schools and colleges.
To meet this growing demand of nurses, the 11th Five Year Plan envisages opening of new nursing colleges, she said.
