Badal calls for filling vacancies in different departments

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said here today that the process of approval by the special committee on recruitment headed by the Chief Secretary would be expedited so that vacancies in different departments could be filled at the earliest.

Mr Badal said different departments were being asked to submit their requirements with regard to filling up of vacancies to the Recruitment Committee. An assurance to this effect was given by Mr Badal to the deputation of Punjab Employees Action Committee led by its convenor Ranbir Dhillon in a meeting.

It may be recalled that SAD-BJP government had already recruited 14,000 teachers, 100 doctors and 200 SDOs (PSEB) till date. At the meeting, the CM responded to the various issues raised by Punjab Employees Action Committee and directed the Chief Secretary to issue detailed guidelines to all the heads of the Departments and the Administrative Secretaries to hold the meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) twice a year. Likewise, he also asked the Chief Secretary to explore the possibility of delegating some of the powers with regard to the promotions and recruitment to the heads of the Departments to avoid unnecessary delay in this process. The Chief Minister also informed the deputation that the state government had asked the Fifth Punjab Pay Commission to submit its report at the earliest to enable the government to implement the revised scales and allowances to its employees and pensioners with effect from January one, 2006.
