Dehradun: The state government has banned contract, outsource, daily wages, part-time, fixed salary and ad-hoc recruitments in all departments. All department heads have been instructed to send requisitions to the selection commissions for recruitment to vacant regular posts. Any officer who makes outsource recruitments will be held personally responsible and disciplinary action will be taken against him.
Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan issued a ban order to all Principal Secretaries, Secretaries, Divisional Commissioners, District Magistrates. He has said that after the implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission in the state, Class IV posts were abolished, to meet the need of which employees have been deployed through outsourcing. Outsource-contract recruitments also got a boost due to the delay in regular recruitments in the departments.
The aim was to simplify and economize government work by issuing government orders on 27 April 2018 and 29 October 2021, but despite regular selection in many departments, outsourced employees deployed against these posts brought stay orders from the courts. Due to this, there is difficulty in deploying regular employees. A situation of contempt of courts is being created, which is creating confusion. Outsourced, contract employees are filing cases in the courts demanding regularization.
Therefore, it has been decided that the previous government orders will now be considered revised. Contract, outsourced or any other such recruitment against regular vacant posts in any department will be completely prohibited. Requisitions will have to be sent to the concerned selection commission for new recruitments on vacant regular posts. If any officer makes contract-outsourced recruitments, then disciplinary action will be taken considering it as his personal responsibility.
Send the requisition on time, it will also be reviewed
Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan has directed that all the department heads should assess all the vacancies of regular posts and send the requisition for recruitment to the selection commission on time. Establish coordination with the concerned commission for timely recruitment. It will also be reviewed regularly.
