All shared a common stage. District Panchayath President presided over the meeting and District Collector was also present on the occasion to confer wishes on the retiring officials. Many talked about the work load in the Present Panchayath, and the audit objections and the liability fixed on the retired hands and the unexplainable hardship the Pensioners are experiencing to get the No Objection Clearance from the Department. That is the way it goes.Sri Suresh the retiring DDP referred the inefficient system in Waynad as compared to other District. District Collector said that the Staff of Panchayath Department get chance to serve people in a better way, when we help poor god will shower his grace on us he said. As the Election Scenario is getting hot the programme was wound up in a hurry. The pathetic condition of the Department is a matter of great concern. The matter has been discussed for years still there is no major change in the scenario.Emploees respond to this matter in an indifferent way.
The Government has now proposed a United Department with Panchayath, Block Municipality and LSGD Engineering Wing .Will this bring a major change in the Department. Only time will answer the question.
