CSC played havoc with new Recruitment Policy: Harsh

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 15: Lambasting the recommendations finalized by the Cabinet Sub Committee (CSC) for review of the proposed ‘New Recruitment Policy’, JKNPP chairman and former Minister Harshdev Singh has described the exercise as a cosmetic whitewash with no serious endeavours on the part of said committee to address the genuine concerns of the unemployed youth and students.
Terming the proposed changes in the Recruitment Policy as eye wash and mere window dressing, he pointed out that the CSC has merely reduced the period of contractual / adhoc service from 7 yrs to 5 yrs for the purpose of regularization and inclusion of one member each from PSC and SSB for such recruitments at district level for gazetted and non gazetted level posts respectively.
Ridiculing the report of the CSC, which stated that the New Recruitment Policy would be applicable only for filling of vacancies of “immediate nature” and that the “normal appointments” would be made through the prescribed agencies of PSC and SSB, he questioned the criteria for the aforesaid categorization and sought withdrawal of the said policy and fill up all State Government vacancies on regular basis with full remuneration.
