84,000 vacant posts in Kashmir, but no recruitment yet
The HinduAlmost seven months after Article 370 was revoked in Jammu and Kashmir, the Union Home Ministry has informed a parliamentary standing committee that the J&K administration has identified nearly 84,000 vacant government posts in the newly created Union Territory but the recruitment is yet to begin as the details are still being “scrutinised”. A report of the panel headed by senior Congress leader Anand Sharma that was tabled in Parliament last week asked the government “to expedite the recruitment process and fill the vacancies in a time-bound manner”. When the committee sought to know about the initiatives proposed to employ people, the Ministry submitted, “The available data indicate vacancies of 22,078, 54,375 and 7,552 at Class IV, non-gazetted and gazetted level, respectively. The details are further being scrutinised and after finalisation of the exact vacancies available for direct recruitment, the Class IV and non-gazetted vacancies shall be referred to the Service Selection Board and gazetted vacancies to the Public Service Commission for selection,” the report said.
