Hundreds of Central Secretariat Service (CSS) officials protested at North Block on Friday to demand promotion, the lack of which had created around 1,500 vacancies in the middle management ranks.
The office of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) is located at North Block in Central Delhi. This is not the first time the serving officials have protested against the government.
The CSS forum, a representative body of all CSS officers, wrote a letter to Personnel Minister Jitendra Singh on June 8 that if eligible officers were not given promotion before July 1, they would incur a financial loss of more than ₹10,000 per month.
