Give Functional Freedom To Babus, Says New Home Minister

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh is expected to give bureaucrats functional freedom to get target-oriented results.

Immediately after taking charge, Singh gave a presentation, lasting nearly four hours.

According to media reports, Singh is keen to understand the issues in detail and asked the babus several relevant questions.

The Ministry looks keen to focus on three issues – tackling illegal migration of Bangladeshis, a relook at UPA's Aadhaar Card scheme and ensuring the security of the North-eastern people residing across the country.

As per media reports, the minister was keen to know the status of illegal Bangladeshis living in the country, their numbers, modus-operandi of illegal migration and ways to tackle the issue.

Singh asked the bureaucrats to give ‘deliverable, actionable plans of their respective divisions.’ They were also asked to identify gaps and problems areas, and suggest solutions to make things move forward.

The minister also discussed border issues with Bangladesh and asked the officials not to compromise with national interest.
