Dimapur, Dec. 14 (EMN): Accusing the power department of failing to maintain the ratio for direct recruitment and promotion of SDOs at 60:40 and for the Junior Engineers (JEs) at 90:10 as per the Engineering Service Rule, the Combined Technical Association of Nagaland (CTAN) has demanded the government to send requisition the same to the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) before December 20 for the welfare of all and the smooth functioning of power department.
CTAN media cell stated that it had made repeated appeals in the form of written and verbal approaches requesting the department to requisition vacant posts for appointment of SDOs and JEs through the NPSC for fair and transparent competition.
As per the RTI reply from PIO of power department, it was learned that only two posts had been sent to NPSC so far out of the nine SDO posts for direct recruitment.
Having observed that the power department has failed to maintain the direct recruitment and promotion at 60:40 ratio for SDOs and 90:10 ratio for JEs as per the Engineering Service Rule, CTAN has directed the power department to restrain any further promotions to SDOs and JEs until the ratio cited above are achieved.
With the expiry of the stipulated date, CTAN cautioned that the department and contract appointees, who were illegally occupying those posts, would be held fully responsible for any untoward incident in the event of any eventuality.
