Backdoor Appointments in TTD
- Undue Love for Private Agencies
- Plan Ready for Regularisation of Contractual Posts

Tirupati, March 14

Back Door Appointments are gaining momentum in TTD. Flouting rules and regulations in force, TTD Board Members, who master the art of Vote Bank politics try to regularize their own people through back door means. Modus operandi is very simple, just push in own people as contractual staff and then regularize them within some months. As a part of this scheme, a plan is readied to regularize numerous contractual workers now working in TTD's Accounts and E booking department. A file with proposal is under preparation to get this proposal okayed during the next Board Meeting. Some contract staff are working in Accounts and E booking departments of TTD through 'Whotech Computers' an outside agency. There is no connection with TTD to these contractual staff nor to this agency except system of 'outsourcing'. Hundreds of such staff work under this agency. A board Member proposed to regularize these services. As far as legality of proposal is concerned, Government Approval is not sanctioned to IT department in TTD. Though Board sent proposal for IT related posts in 2004, Government not yet responded. In these circumstances, the proposal to regularize these contractual employees gains significance. In addition to IT, some work in Transport and Security departments also. Board desires to regularize them also. A ban is existing on new posts in TTD, but regularizing own people through backdoor means would deprive the opportunities of real unemployed.
