PGI staff express resentment: The PGI Employees’ Union has expressed resentment over the 'delay' in filling of the posts of pharmacist. There are 36 sanctioned posts, but only 15 have been filled so far. Of the pharmacists, two will retire this year. In June 2013, 13 posts were advertised. The last date for the filing of applications was July 10. A written test was conducted in September 2013. Seventy candidates were shortlisted.
"But the scrutiny committee has failed to check the credentials of candidates," members of the union stated. The union has appealed to the PGI administration to fill all sanctioned and vacant posts.
