The Telangana BJP has demanded that the Government immediately issue notification for filling Group 1 and Group 2 posts as there are an estimated vacancies of 1,600 posts in the former and 4,000 posts in the latter, besides close to 3,000 posts in Group 3, according to party president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Thursday.
Group 1 notification has not been issued for close to a decade and it was ridiculous considering that there is a shortage of IAS officers and current officers are holding additional charge of three or even four departments, he pointed out. “This shortage of officers is directly affecting the functioning of the departments and in providing services to the citizens especially to the poor and the downtrodden,” he reminded, in a statement.
The lower level posts of junior assistants too are not being filled for several years forcing the administration to function at a tardy pace at the district and mandal levels. It is not enough to fill clerical posts in the secretariat as the services need to be provided at the zonal levels too, he said and warned of taking up an agitation in association with the youth organisations to force the government to issue the job notifications.
