With the appointment of the competent Raghav Chandra, a
1982-batch IAS officer of the MP cadre, as Chairman of the National Highways
Authority of India, the dream of Vijay Chhibber, Secretary Ministry of Surface
Transport, is shattered. He was reportedly eyeing the coveted post and wanted
additional charge after his retirement in December 2015 but the government
pre-empted the move. To buttress his cause, he did not want to leave anything
to chance. It is reported that he used his clout as President of the Gymkhana
Club by offering privileged membership to the higher-ups in anticipation of a
plum post after his retirement. There is a waiting of 30 years, at present, to
become a member of the colonial club of the country. Everybody was surprised
when an IAS-turned-poet and former Chairman of NHAI, RP Singh, was offered the
Gymkhana Club membership in the eminent category. Ordinary members of the club
are angry about the arbitrary decisions being taken by Chhibber and his brother
has been seen pacifying them. g
