PSC, SSRB to function normally: Akhter

Only 15000 posts through new job policy

Srinagar: The state government today said that SSRB and PSC would continue to remain functional in the state and that through the new recruitment policy, only 15000 posts will be filled.

In view of the accumulated vacancies, this decision has been taken by the government so that services are provided in the far flung areas of the state wherein a native would discharge the duties for seven year and then gets regularized, PDP leader and the Education Minister Naeem Akhter said adding the selection will be made purely on the basis of merit with the adoption of transparent mechanism. What we have seen is that even if a person gets a job in a border area, he doesnt remains there and strives for the transfer. We have this policy under which a person has to discharge duties in his/ her native area only.

There is another misconception. The government has not changed the cadre of any post. If the post is of the state cadre nature, any person from the state can apply. Same format is applicable for the district cadre posts, the Education Minister said and added, Normal procedure for other vacant posts would remain in vogue and PSC and SSRB would continue to function normally. The new recruitment policy is aimed only to speed up the recruitment in remote process in remote areas of the state.

Reacting to the protests being held by the Congress and National Conference over granting of AIIMS to Kashmir and not to Jammu, Akhar said, Such a prestigious institution has been given to the state and not to any specific region. NC is trying to create a regional wedge between Jammu and Kashmir. We have a firm stand that Kashmir is not a different state. It is JK as a one state to which AIIMS is being. What NC and Congress are trying to do is condemnable and shameful.
