Haryana ex-minister demands filling up of 1.82 lakh vacancies

Chandigarh : Former Haryana finance minister Sampat Singh on Saturday demanded that the state government should immediately fill up 1.82 lakh vacancies in various government departments. Speaking during the inauguration of “Hath Se Hath Jodo” campaign at Payal village of Nalwa assembly constituency, the senior Congress leader said that 41% of the total posts in government departments had been lying vacant for quite some time. He claimed that the government had set up a Haryana Skill Employment Corporation through which skilled and educated youths were being engaged at the wages paid to labourers. “This was sheer exploitation of unemployed youths. Besides, only those recommended by influential ruling party leaders and officials were being recruited through this process,” he said. He said recruitments must be made in a transparent manner and ensuring that there were no malpractices in the process.
