Chandigarh, October 25
Consumer forums becoming non-functional due to lack of members or presidents is not an unusual phenomenon. Four consumer forums in Haryana are not functioning due to which the state government has incurred a loss of around Rs 44 lakh.
According to information obtained by advocate G.D. Gupta of Jagadhri under the RTI Act from the PIO of the Haryana State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, four district forums in Hisar, Kurukshetra, Panipat and Yamunanagar are not functioning.
The post of the president of the district forum, Hisar, is vacant since January 6, while that of Kurukshetra is vacant since February 10.
The president’s post both at Panipat and Yamunanagar is vacant since January 6.
It is also stated by the PIO in his letter dated October 16 that a meeting of the statutory selection committee to hold interviews was held from August 25 to September 2. However, the appointments have not been made so far.
Thus, an aggregate expenditure of Rs 44,71,238 was wasted during the first four to six months. The backlog of cases added during the said period is in addition.
Thus, till date, on an average, an expenditure of Rs 1 crore has gone down the drain on account of laxity on the part of officers concerned to finalise the appointments of presidents of the above said four district forums.
