122 vacant posts of
clerk to be abolished Chandigarh, February 7 Official sources said the state government’s earlier move to retrench employees and abolish vacant posts was confined to cooperative and public sector undertakings and one of the engineering wings. While more than 2,500 employees of PSUs and cooperative sector units were retrenched, about 4,000 vacant posts in the Irrigation Department were abolished earlier. Highly placed sources here said that the decision of the government to go in for the single-file system in the Excise and Taxation Department would also render some staff surplus. An exercise to find out the position regarding surplus employees in the Education and Vocational Education Departments was also at an advanced stage, they said. Talking to TNS about the latest move to downsize government departments, the sources revealed that while nine posts in the cadre of superintendent had fallen vacant in the Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh recently, the government decided to fill only four of them in view of the exercise to reduce excess strength of employees. They said that with the promotion of six superintendents and the retirement of one on November 30, seven posts of superintendent had fallen vacant. Two more posts fell vacant following the death of a person in the cadre of superintendent on November 24 and the transfer of another to the State Women Development Commission. However, out of nine vacancies, only four were filled by promoting deputy superintendents. Ram Phal Malik, Sardari Lal, Chander Bhan Pannu and Baljit Singh were promoted superintendents on an ad hoc basis for six months with the condition that they could be reverted at any time without notice if the government took a decision to do away with these posts. The government had earlier promoted five deputy superintendents as superintendents under similar
conditions. While the latest batch of promotes was slapped with this condition, it was decided to free five superintendents promoted earlier from this condition. |
