JAMMU: State Vigilance Commission (SVC) today ordered a probe against the then chief education officer (CEO) over alleged irregularities last year in recruitment of employees in education department of Budgam district.
The Commission has ordered initiation of a departmental enquiry against the then CEO over alleged large-scale bungling and irregularities in recruitment of class-IV employees in Education Department of Budgam in 2015, SVC spokesman said.
“The SVC took cognisance of unfair, injudicious and arbitrary selection of class-IV employees made by the CEO after inviting applications from candidates vide advertisement and the allegations levelled in the complaint that in the said selection process there was favouritism and nepotism shown by members of the Selection Committee,” the spokesman said.
Candidates who failed to get shortlisted were later, with connivance of members of selection committee and other officials, shown selected in the final recruitment list, the spokesman said, adding that the exercise puts a question mark on selection procedure. (AGENCIES)
