Nagaland Government flouting ban on contractual appointment: PSAN

DIMAPUR, JULY 8 (MExN): The Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) has alleged that the Nagaland State Government is still making appointments on contract basis despite issuing the Office Memorandum on June 6, 2016, which banned all adhoc/temporary/work-charge appointments.  

According to PSAN media cell, the Government of Nagaland has made 32 contract appointments in 3 departments after June 6, 2016 notification. In the Department of Higher and Technical Education, 18 assistant professors were appointed on contract basis, in the Department of Justice and Law, 9 assistant public prosecutors and one LDA-cum-computer assistant have been appointed. Further in the Department of Art and Culture, 1 post each of Assistant Archivist, LDA, Research Assistant for Phom tribe, Research Assistant for Pochuri tribe have been appointed, the PSAN has alleged.  

Highlighting these findings, the PSAN wanted to know how the government could violate its very own Office Memorandum that banned all contractual appointments. It stated that this was complete betrayal of the people’s trust by the government by making rules and regulation that had meaning only on paper.  

Cautioning that the level of tolerance of educated unemployed young men and women of Nagaland has reached its saturation point, the PSAN has advised the government to wise-up and do away with the unethical practice of backdoor appointments without delay.  

Meanwhile, the PSAN termed the statement made by MLA Imkong L Imchen aftermath the July 3 peaceful protest as “preposterous.”  

“The least a political leader could do is by not making statements contradictory to the obvious fact. The future of our young boys and girls is not a game for politicians to play. If there is any conscience left in them, what is right and good for the people of Nagaland should be done with all earnestness,” the PSAN stated.
