सभापति महोदय, हम उम्मीद करते हैं और इस बात के लिए मंत्री जी को भरपूर दिल से बधाई देते हैं कि वे खास करके बिहरा के पिछड़े इलाकों की समीक्षा कराएंगे और बिहार में दूरभाष और डाकघर की उचित व्यवस्था करेंगे। इन्हीं शब्दों के साथ आपको भी धन्यवाद देते हैं।

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM (NAGALAND): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak on the Demands for Grants of the Ministry of Communications. The earlier speakers have spoken a lot about the various policies and tie-ups with multinationals regarding telecommunications. I would just like to bring to the attention of the hon. Minister that in this 21st century, there has been a lot of improvement in the telecom sector. Technologies have been upgraded and all the countries of the world seem to have come closer to one another.

SHRI RAM VILAS PASWAN: From which place has the post of Chief General Manager been brought?

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM: It has been brought from Shillong to Delhi.

SHRI RAM VILAS PASWAN : The orders regarding the post of CGM have been issued.

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM : But that was there earlier before you assumed office.

SHRI RAM VILAS PASWAN: Your first point is that you want one post of CGM in Nagaland.

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM: Yes.

SHRI RAM VILAS PASWAN: Your another point is that the CGM is not working at Shillong.

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM : Yes. The post of Chief General Manager was brought to Delhi and the man who came here was given the rank of Additional Secretary.

SHRI RAM VILAS PASWAN: From where was he brought?

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM: He was brought from Shillong. The same officer who was brought to Delhi was given the rank of Additional Secretary and was posted in Delhi. But if you have issued the orders reverting it back, I thank you for that.

SHRI RAM VILAS PASWAN: No, I can tell with full responsibility that the posts both of CGM and PMG are there at Shillong and Shri Chitley has been posted there.

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM ): Before you came, this post had been transferred along with the officer holding it, which was not correct.

SHRI RAM VILAS PASWAN: I will look into it.

SHRI K.A. SANGTAM): Therefore, to look after these States, let the Chief Post Master General be in Shillong; for the other three States, let the Chief Post Master General be at Dimapur. This is the suggestion that I would like to make.

The ten per cent amount that has been kept as a non-lapsable fund should be utilised for constructing more buildings in the North-East, particularly in the interior places, besides post offices, staff quarters and even boundary walls around the Government land to protect the property because there are reports that there is a lot of encroachment by the public. This money can be used for preventing the encroachments. Thank you.
