O. Panneerselvam opposes re-employing retired officials in Tamil Nadu, citing impact on youth employment opportunities and lack of recruitment.
Expelled AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Friday opposed the reported practice of the Tamil Nadu government re-employing retired officials on contracts, as, he said, this affected the employment opportunities of the youth. He alleged that government recruitments were not being undertaken over the past three years of the DMK regime.
Officials up to Secretary-level posts are re-employed in the same position after their retirement, Mr. Panneerselvam, who is now leader of the ADMK Workers’ Rights’ Retrieval Committee, said, pointing to specific cases.
“Besides, employees are recruited on contract at all levels,” he said adding, “In Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), employees are filled through external agencies.” There was opposition to the likely re-employment of retired officials to the recently-established Tamil Nadu State Highways Authority, he said and sought Chief Minister M. K. Stalin’s intervention to fill up vacancies through a proper recruitment process.
