Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 4: The Public Service Commission (PSC) is likely to defer J&K Combined Competitive Examination (CCE)-2014 for next year and possibly to merge it with 2015 vacant posts.
Highly placed sources told Early Times that initially the examinations were postponed due to incessant rains and flash floods that created havoc across the State and now chances of the examinations are bleak in the backdrop of controversy raked up over the appointment of chairman and six members.
"Earlier the preliminary examinations for 51 posts were scheduled on October 12, 2014, but due to heavy floods in the state, all departmental and competitive examinations were postponed," he said, adding that due to devastating floods, the office of PSC at Polo Ground and Solina remained submerged in the water.
"Owing to deluge, the old records pertaining to competitive as well as departmental examinations from 1980-2012 got destroyed/damaged beyond recognition," said he.
He shared that a day after Governor, NN Vohra returned the file, concerning the appointments of PSC chairman and six other members to General Administration Department (GAD) for Vigilance clearance, the chances of the conducting examinations are now bleak.
"The commission is now mulling to take all examinations next year. Here is also a possibility of merging CCE-2014 examinations with the over 300 vacant posts of next year," source believed.
A former PSC member, wishing anonymity said, "The floods had affected the smooth flow of examinations that used to happen before the fall of winters, but presently the situation is different, as the commission is already late by more than a month to conduct preliminary examinations," he added that the queries raised by Governor in the appointment of members will further delay the examination schedule.
He said that this further delay has minimized the chances of taking examinations this year and the possibilities are high that the commission might merge the vacant posts of two years.
"The queries raised by the Governor to the GAD are 'very time consuming'," said former PSC official. He added this process will probably take two to three months and conducting preliminary examinations in the month of January-February will not help commission to streamline the recruitment process. "So it is believed that commission will opt to merge vacant posts of two years," he said.
The sources claimed that the Governor has sought Vigilance clearance, Annual Performance Report (APRs), integrity certificates, property statements among other essential reports for all seven new appointees, which had not been attached along with the file sent to the Governor for approval. |
