Mr Vohra, has approved the appointment of 29 eligible family members of government employees who died in harness under SRO-43.
“Observing that the cases are from one to nearly eight years old the Governor has directed that the Secretary should immediately issue instructions to all the Administrative Secretaries to personally review all SRO-43 cases pending in their departments as on January 1, 2015 and ensure that all procedural formalities, identification of vacancies etc are settled on time bound basis to finalise every case within 120 days of the initiation,” a Raj Bhawan spokesperson here said.
