ADDS THERE SEEMS TO BE A BUREAUCRATIC VOID AND STATE GOVT SEEMS TO HAVE NO ADVICE AT ALL

Targetting the Bhagwant Mann government for once again bringing embarrassment to all Punjabis, former Member of Parliament and senior BJP leader Sunil Jakhar on Tuesday said the fiasco over appointment of PAU VC was an avoidable embarrassment had the state government followed due procedural norms for an otherwise routine process.
The Hon'ble Governor, being the Chancellor of the state Universities, is the final apponting authority for appointment of a VC, Jakhar said.
Is there nobody to tell the powers that be a simple rule that any name or a panel of names the government proposes has to be ratified by the Governor before one is chosen to lead the University as a Vice-Chancellor, Jakhar asked.
The process for appointment of a VC is otherwise a routine process which this ill-informed government seems to have turned into yet another unnecessary tussle with the Governor, Jakhar said further adding that there seems to be an administrative void in the state where no officer is willing to take the risk of advising the state government.
Cautioning the opposition parties willing to jump in the fray without any pertinent stand, Jakhar said by asking the Governor to stay out of PAU administration is like missing the woods for trees.
The Governor has by no means castigated the PAU administration, rather he has put the AAP government in dock for failing to follow well laid out procedure in appointment of the VC, Jakhar said.
