Categorise various Govt appointments
I have suggestion for your consideration. You should categorise various Govt appointments such as : 1. ACC empanelments 2. ACC appointments at Centre 3. Appointments in central Services such as IRS, IAAS, ICAS, IOFS, IPoS, etc. 3. ACC appointments in CPSUs. 4. Police Appointments at Centre 5. State Appointments-Civil 6. State Appointments- Police You may also indicate if it is an actual appointment or a whisper that you have heard. Appointments below Deputy Secretary should be given in a separate category. This would make it very focussed and you can expect more people to come to your site as right now one has to waste a lot of time looking for relevant news or whisper.

Restructuring Steel Plants is need of the hour
During UPA's 10 years of policy paralysis, Steel Sector was totally ignored, all sorts of damage was done mostly during previous regime and today these plant's are suffering. Amalgamation of steel plants needed for better business model and revenues. PSU steel makers are full of resources, they need to lead the market as a giant entity than going separately

FEEDBACK FROM WHISPERS IN THE CORRIDORS.IN:

DEBATE
You pride yourself as the first choice of movers and shakers but you should also highlight the areas where the movers and shakers are neither moving nor shaking Take for instance the paralysis in Delhi postal services on account reported upgradation of computer programme. Neither speed-post track and trace system of speed-post is working nor articles being booked nor any public notice issued as to how long will it take. Speed-post letters booked on June 26, 2018 in Delhi itself for local delivery are untraceable till date. All cash transactions are at standstill. It appeared that staff has not been trained for the new computer programme. Will somebody care even to notify to public how long it is going to last

Deep conspiracies in corridors of power
It is clear that very deep conspiracies are being hatched in corridors of power, especially where strong actions against high politicians of earlier times are concerned. It is widely believed that certain elements in FinMIn as well as investigating agencies favourably inclined towards one senior politician have been trying to derail actions against him. At the same time, the top bureaucrat in FinMIn has been targetted since last two years by IRS lobby and some elements in Ministry because he is honest.
Now, somehow, an attempt is even being made to show that this official is trying to thwart investigations, although he is known to be totally honest.
So, they are trying to kill several birds with this game. Unfortunately, it appears that a senior politician who has been relentlessly fighting in SC to bring these politicians to book has also fallen into the trap and targeting the top bureaucrat.
Honest officers need to expose such elements in various fora, including whispers.

Take action against corrupt politicians
The government needs to take action against the corrupt politicians, as people are getting restless only hearing about it , take some action on Article 370 etc, and most importantly check credentials of bureaucrats and remove those who were the confidants of previous got and are still in powerful positions, and sabotaging the moves of the government and even misleading the govt. The time now is for bold action, undeterred by the shouts of tukre tukre gang, so that people feel reassured that action is being taken against anti nationals. The people have full faith in PM , notwithstanding the loud shouts of a few vociferous elements. The silent majority is more powerful, even if quiet.
