ITANAGAR, 25 Apr:<\/strong> The Arunachal Law Students’ Union (ALSU) has threatened to launch a peaceful democratic movement in protest against the government’s failure to take action against alleged large-scale irregularities, corruption, and unauthorised appointments in the Information Technology & e-Governance Department and the Science & Technology Department.<\/p>\n “Despite filing of repeated complaints with the governor, chief minister, chief secretary and science & technology minister, no strict action has been initiated till date, indicating administrative apathy,” the ALSU said, adding that it would file a public interest litigation before the high court and pursue legal remedies under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and other relevant laws.<\/p>\n \u00a0The ALSU strongly recommended the dissolution of the State Council for IT & e-Governance, “which is currently functioning without any qualified scientific or technical personnel.”<\/p>\n The union called for establishment of a full-fledged IT department, comprising 90% technical and 10% non-technical staff, to ensure professionalism and domain expertise.<\/p>\n The ALSU further called for restructuring the Science & Technology Department into four specialised technical branches, to be headed by a director general, with the authority to appoint a secretary. “In the absence of such structural reforms, the department should be considered for dissolution due to its ineffectiveness,” it said.<\/p>\n The ALSU claimed that it has identified multiple illegal appointments and promotions, notably a former technical assistant being “irregularly” promoted as accounts officer.<\/p>\n “Several other key positions, including directors, joint directors, and assistant directors have been filled without following due process (no advertisement, exam, or interview), violating established recruitment rules,” the ALSU said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ITANAGAR, 25 Apr: The Arunachal Law Students’ Union (ALSU) has threatened to launch a peaceful democratic movement in protest against the government’s failure to take action against alleged large-scale irregularities, corruption, and unauthorised appointments in the Information Technology & e-Governance Department and the Science & Technology Department. “Despite filing of repeated complaints with the governor, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-263087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-state-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263087\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arunachaltimes.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
