Puducherry MP writes to Home Minister seeking separate recruitment board for UT

In a letter to Amit Shah, V. Vaithilingam said the present mode of recruitment led to the appointment of non-Tamil speaking persons in key posts such as General Duty Medical Officers, making it hard for the public to communicate

Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) V. Vaithilingam, has requested the Union government to set up a separate recruitment board for the Union Territory.

In a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Mr. Vaithilingam said at present Group A and Group B (gazetted) posts in the UT are filled by the Union Public Service Commission. The conduct of the UPSC exam allows participation of job-seekers from across the country. This mode of recruitment gives room for appointment of non-Tamil speaking persons in key posts such as General Duty Medical Officers (GDMO) and Vice-Principals, he said.
