Dehradun: Chief Secretary Anand Vardhan has issued strict instructions to ensure timely promotion of employees under various departments in the state and has instructed the officers not to show any laxity in this. The Chief Secretary said that all the employees who are eligible should be compulsorily promoted by July 1. So that not only these employees can get the benefit of promotion on time but in front of this, other employees can also be promoted and recruited as per the vacant posts.
The state government has been saying that thousands of vacant posts in the state should be filled as soon as possible. But many times due to not getting promotion on time, new recruitment is not done on the posts which are to be vacant due to promotion. It has been said that about 25000 posts are vacant under various departments. But after completely settling the cases of promotion under various departments in the state, there are many more such posts which will be vacant and the youth can get a chance to get recruited on them too.
The Chief Secretary has also given strict instructions to the officers to record the annual confidential entries of the employees and officers in the state. During this, he also expressed displeasure over the officials’ procrastination in this. After this, it has been made clear to the officers that there should be no laxity in recording the annual confidential entries and the reporter and review should record their comments in the ACR (Annual Confidential Report) as soon as possible, so that the employees get the ACR (Annual Confidential Report) on time. Apart from the government, it has been asked to be implemented at the departmental level as well and the situation has also been clarified so that the employees do not face problems due to this.
