Arunachal Pradesh to regularize jobs of 683 health sector employees

OUR CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: An Arunachal Pradesh Minister on Wednesday assured the Assembly that jobs of over 600 non-technical employees working in various vertical programmes of the Health and Family Welfare Department would be regularized in a phased manner.

Replying to a short-duration discussion on the 'pathetic condition' of 683 non-technical staff working in various vertical programmes, Health and Family Welfare Minister Alo Libang said that regularization of those employees was not possible at one go due to financial constraints.

The discussion had been initiated by BJP MLA Hayeng Mangfi.

The State Government had last year constituted a committee, headed by the Chief Secretary, and it has already started functioning, Libang said.

Expressing his views on the matter, Mangfi said that staff concerned was working in various vertical programmes without a scope for getting regular jobs in the future.

He pointed out that many of the employees have completed more than 20 years in service without regularization though they possessed all the requisite qualifications.

Suggesting that the State Government should frame a policy to regularize their services in a phased manner, Mangfi said that the Manipur Government has already done so.

Taking part in the discussion, senior BJP member Nyatoi Dukam said that the Government should seriously think about the matter.

The majority of the members in the House supported the issue and requested the Government to sort out ways to absorb the employees permanently.

Assuring the legislators that the jobs of the non-technical employees would be regularized in a phased manner, Libang said that the Government is serious about securing their future.
