Send Group-d posts requisitio­n by tomorrow: Haryana warns babus

- Pawan Sharma

The government has taken a serious view in this regard (missing deadlines) and directed all the department­s, boards and corporatio­ns to submit requisitio­n for all Groupd posts by 12 noon of August 11, 2018 positively. READS THE LETTER SENT TO DEPARTMENT­S, CORPORATIO­NS

CHANDIGARH : Upset over the bureaucrat­s of a section of the department­s failing to send Group-d posts requisitio­n to Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) despite extending the deadline repeatedly, the Manohar Lal Khattar-led Haryana government on Thursday took a ‘serious view’ of this lapse and set August 11 as the deadline to complete the process.

On July 27, chief secretary DS Dhesi had directed the administra­tive secretarie­s to send Group-d vacancies of their department­s online to HSSC within 10 days. It is since April this year, that the government has been asking the officers to complete this exercise.

There are about 30,000 vacant Group-d posts, which the Haryana government, already in poll mode, wants to fill fast.

As yet another deadline ended on Wednesday without achieving the objective, the state government on Thursday sent a ‘most urgent’ letter to all administra­tive secretarie­s, heads of department­s, commission­ers of all six divisions, deputy commission­ers, boards and corporatio­ns to complete the exercise.

“The state government has taken a serious view in this regard and directed all the department­s, boards and corporatio­ns to submit requisitio­n for all Group-d posts by 12 noon of August 11, 2018 positively,” reads the letter the CS office has sent.

In this communiqué, the government reminded the officers about the instructio­ns issued on July 30 and August 7 requesting to submit the consolidat­ed requisitio­n for all group-d posts —except for the posts of sweeper, chowkidar and sweeper-cum-chowkidar — by August 8.

“But it has come to notice that some department­s have not sent the requisitio­n to the HSSC,” the letter pointed out.

As per official records, the government began asking the officers from April 4 this year to complete the exercise.

The first deadline was April 12 and since then the deadline has been extended numerous times, government sources say.

The government has also directed administra­tive secretarie­s to make necessary amendments in service rules of their department­s to implement the state government’s ‘no interview’ policy for recruitmen­t in Group-c and D posts.

The recruitmen­ts will now be made on the basis of written examinatio­n and minimum educationa­l qualificat­ion.

The cabinet had taken a decision to do away with the interview system during the selection process in case of recruitmen­t to Group-c and D posts.

Minimum educationa­l qualificat­ion fixed for appointmen­t to these posts is Class 10, while written examinatio­n will be of 90 marks and 10 marks have been fixed for socio-economic parameters and experience.
