Sojourn under compulsion






Sojourn under compulsion
Everywhere one looks these days, there seems to be some sort of scam or scandal. One would think that the top bosses would be less brash these days. But this is obviously not the case. One of the secretaries in a ministry handling corporate matters was transferred to a new ministry. He joined as fast as he could because in any case he was not getting along with the minister. But the top bosses thought otherwise. They refused to relieve him till he did not complete the million-dollar agreements already in the ministry’s pipeline. The top bosses were so desperate that the secretary had to travel abroad on Holi to Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and South Africa to finalise coal purchase agreements and personally visit the mines. Sources disclosed that the secretary was instructed to finalise agreements amounting to Rs 20,000 crore as fast as he could. The Posco deal also had to be finalised. The renovation of various plants, worth around Rs 6 billion, was also in the pipeline. The top bosses of the government obviously don’t want to lose time as they themselves don’t know how long they will be in command.g
