The State Cabinet has decided to accept the request of doctor H.P.S. Mythri, who had petitioned the government seeking that she should be given KAS (junior scale) Group A post under the women’s reservation quota of the Scheduled Tribe category.
Briefing mediapersons after the Cabinet meeting, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H.K. Patil said the Cabinet decided to create a supernumerary post to accommodate her as a KAS Group A officer.
It may be noted that Dr. Mythri had been chosen for the post of executive officer under the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department during 2011 when the KPSC had taken up recruitments to fill 362 gazetted probationer posts.
