The Governor has also sought an early determination of the vacancies arising under the promotion quota in IAS for the years 2013 and 2014 so that the UPSC could be requested to convene a meeting of the Selection Committee accordingly. The induction into the service against the vacancies for the year 2012 has already been completed.
