“The Cabinet is scheduled to meet at 11 AM at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s official residence on Thursday,” official sources told the Excelsior.
They said the Cadre Review and Reorganization of Jal Shakti Department (JSD) topped agenda of the Cabinet meeting while the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to be signed between the JSD UT Government with the Centre on Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) will also be discussed as it has been drafted by the department.
The Recruitment Rules for State Motor Garages (SMG) have been finalized and the Cabinet is expected to approve its notification in tomorrow’s meeting.
In a significant decision, the Health and Medical Education Department has mooted re-designation of Medical Superintendents as Professors, Deputy Medical Superintendents as Associate Professors and Assistant Medical Superintendents as Assistant Professors in the Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Cabinet is likely to give its nod to the proposal.
A proposal is also before the Cabinet on promotion of Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services (JKAS) officers in three ranks including Under Secretaries, Additional Secretaries and Special Secretaries.
However, as per the agenda items, the Dearness Allowance (DA) of Government employees and pensioners, which was recently released by the Central Government, is not being taken up by the Cabinet tomorrow. But, the possibility of supplementary agenda to approve the DA is not ruled out, the sources said.
The Cabinet is likely to revalidate previous order on regularization of Lecturers in the Education Department.
A proposal has also gone for creation of supernumerary post of the District Judge.
Sources said nine posts of District Ayush Officers (DAOs) are proposed to be created in the Health and Medical Education Department by reducing 11 posts of the Medical Officers. Eight DAOs will be posted in the districts which were created in 2006-2007 (four each in Jammu and Kashmir divisions) and one in Pulwama district.
Sources said various development works proposed by Public Works Department (PWD), Housing and Urban Development Department and Rural Development Department are also expected to be cleared by the Cabinet in its tomorrow’s meeting.
It may be mentioned here that the Cabinet decisions are subject to approval of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.
