Sub: Publication of information in websites-Assets of Govt. employees & Officers in public domain
Confederation of Central Government Gazetted Officers’ Organisations (CCGGOO) is of the opinion that while the Government may call for details of the assets and liabilities, presenting them on the website could prove harmful. A number of Government Officials fear allowing public access to such information would pose a security threat to them and their dependents, leave their children vulnerable to kidnapping and ransom demands. There are various sources the Government Employees would have accumulated wealth such as gift from parents, Grandparents property, self earning, wife side property, or children contribution etc.
It is inconceivable that the Government would pave the way for such a risk to its own employees. Therefore CCGGOO is of the opinion that all such information should not be displayed on public domain.
