DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 23 (MExN): Alleging ‘backdoor appointment’ in the Health & Family Welfare (H&FW) department, Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT), Nagaland today claimed that 18 candidates who were cleared for the post of Medical Officers (MO) by the NPSC on October 31, 2015 are still awaiting induction because their seats have been “blocked by 19 backdoor appointees (out of total 47), 2009-11 batch, which the Minister and the department wants to regularize first.”
Questioning the silence of the State government on the issue, it said the Personal &Administrative Reforms (P&AR) department should not succumb to the pressure of the H&FW department to regularize the backdoor appointees. The H&FW department should immediately issue the appointment order of the 18 NPSC cleared candidates before February 25 which happens to be the last date for submission of MO appointment letters, it added.
