Govt rightly cancelled illegal appointments in KVIB: Soz

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, July 9: Former PCC president Prof Saifuddin Soz has said that Govt has rightly cancelled the irregular appointments made in the State’s Khadi and Village Industries Board (KVIB).
In a press statement here Soz said the Govt would now be well advised to extend the process of scrutiny to other areas so that appointments made against norms could be quashed.
It would be interesting to investigate and know the irregularities committed by which department. It would also be worth to investigate as to when the then Secretary GAD, Abdul Majid had raised objections in respect of certain procedures, why certain departments and officers deliberately persisted in the wrong direction.
Government should appoint a committee to go into the alleged irregularities and punish officers who wilfully committed irregularities.
In the meantime, Govt should complete the process of regular appointments so that the deserving candidates get jobs, at the earliest.
