| Notify available slots for making inductions into KAS Cadre, officers tell Govt | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 31: Reminding Government to honour the Supreme Court rulings came in the case of Suraj Prakash V/s State and others, the officers in feeding service for KAS (an amalgam of 18 Services) have demanded Government to notify the available slots prior to making any inductions into KAS Cadre besides restoring the slots to address their grievance.
The amalgam, which met here today, under the chair of the President, Ghulam Rasool Mir, discussed in detail the issue of slots diverted earlier to other source (direct recruits) and resolved to struggle for its restoration till the grievances are addressed by the Government. He said removing disparity in slots and balancing the slots, distributed among promotee and direct recruits as per their share, is one of the issue of the Amalgam.
Lauding the impartiality of the Chief Secretary BVR Subrahmanyam, the president said that "We are optimistic about the justice we demand, as the Chief Secretary has assured us to restore the slots diverted earlier to other source (direct recruits).
He said some officers on helm of affairs are delaying the issue either to hide their mistakes or favour a particular service. He said that Governor Administration should honour the Supreme Court rulings by way of implementing the Order No. 107 of 2002 in letter and spirit.
Later, the officers of Information Department today requested the Chief Secretary and Commissioner/Secretary GAD to implement the Govt Order No. 107, issued by GAD on January 16, 2002, in compliance to court direction. As per this order, all the slots diverted earlier from one source to another should be restored back in future.
Expressing astonishment over the gap existing between the allotted slots to promotee group and direct-recruits, the officers have sought immediate reversion of slots to promote group to balance the share. At present, there are 364 slots occupied by direct recruits against the share of 370 while this number is just 142 allotted to promotee group (18 services) out of their share of 370.
In a statement, the officers demand that Government should take necessary steps for bridging this gap of 228 slots by way of allotting all the slots available with GAD and Establishment Committee constituted by the Government for the purpose. Pinning hope on the Chief Secretary, the officers were optimistic about the impartiality of CS who would not allow any body to do anything which mars the rights of promotee group.
"Let us see how the Government l honours the court direction, circulated in the form of Govt order No. 107," the officers said, adding that14 slots are due for Information Service against which only five are in position and nine are yet to be inducted. Likewise, they informed, the Secretariat Service has got only two slots against the share of 28, leaving a balance of 26. The officers appealed to the officers of other 18 services (promotee group) to come forward and seek their share of slots in KAS. |
