The UT Administration is soon going to carry out direct recruitment for many departments. According to officials, the process has been started and the recruitment process for about 377 posts may be started from April.
Recruitment has not been done in different departments of the Chandigarh Administration for a long time. On the instructions of the Chief Secretary, almost all departments have finalised recruitment rules for new appointments, which have also been notified as per rules.
The Administration will first recruit drivers, clerks, stenographers as well as for other posts of group C and in the future, they will be recruited in the same way as for the posts of other departments. Instructions have been given to the officers that no regular post should get abolished in the absence of regular appointment.
The Administration will also implement a 20 per cent quota for ex-Agniveers during direct recruitments. For this, UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria had given the approval, after which the Home Department had issued a notification. At the same time, the Administrator has instructed to implement this quota for the posts of jail warden to be announced soon. Apart from the Prison Department, 20 per cent posts in the Fire and Rescue Services and Forest and Wildlife Department will be reserved for ex-firemen. — TNS
