Deputy Secretary of AIIMS Sanjiv Chaturvedi has written to Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha requesting allocation of work, claiming that all work assigned to him was withdrawn in the last couple of years.
Chaturvedi, former Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO), has also sought an appointment with the cabinet secretary over the issue.
"After joining the AIIMS, I was given main work of CVO of the Institute and apart from that minor works of general section, estate section, grievances. However, all the works were withdrawn, one by one without assigning any reason and despite consistent outstanding record as recorded by Union Health Minister and Health Secretary," Chaturvedi said in his letter to the cabinet secretary.
Claiming that the situation was a result of his lawful actions against the power nexus of politicians and bureaucrats, Chaturvedi said, "Now I am facing a very humiliating situation of being without any work and being paid of full salary (Rs one lakh plus). This is such wastage of financial and human resources and is very unfortunate for a poor country like ours where two-thirds of the population is daily struggling just for survival."
Chaturvedi in the letter has also mentioned on how his repeated request for work allocation by the current health secretary has gone unheard citing political pressure.
"I request your (Cabinet Secretary) good self to kindly issue appropriate directions to Health Ministry for implementation of work allocation orders so that government money being spent on me could be justified.
