The participants recalled the hour long meeting held with Principal Secretary PDD in Raj Bhawan Jammu on 6th Aug 2022, wherein JKEEGA had briefed about the scores of vacancies which are lying vacant at various levels in the organization. The association had brought to fore and expressed hope that the scores of posts at all levels from Junior Engineer to Managing Director level which are lying vacant shall be expeditiously filled so that not only the promotional opportunities are provided to the incumbents but also the revenue realization also improves remarkably.
JKEEGA once again appeals to the Lieutenant Governor and Principal Secretary PDD that the senior most Chief Engineer having experience of more than three years as Chief Engineer and having cumulative Gazetted Service of more than 25 years’ service be assigned the charge of the position of the Managing Director (JKPTCL) and KPDCL in the order of the precedence and also on the basis of seniority in order to improve the financial health of the corporations and also improve the overall working of corporations forward. Further it is important that the position of the Managing Director being Gazetted cadre post of PDD should not be diverted to any other feeding cadre of administrative service. This takes reference to the fact that the minutes of the meeting held on the recruitment rules for appointment to the post of Managing Director had also recommended the same.
The members expressed hope that the administration shall resolve all the burning issues of the Graduate Engineering fraternity at an earliest so that a renewed zeal is infused among the fraternity.
