Tripura Minister denied the government has imposed ban on appointment

Agartala: Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath has rubbished all apprehension and confusion created over a recent memorandum issued by the finance department restricting creation of post and appointment by any department without prior approval.

He said there is not a single word preventing the departments from issuing appointment and said that must have prior approval from the Finance Department. It is a usual practice and the memorandum was issued as some cases of aberration came to notice.

He said thousands of posts in different departments remained vacant as the previous Left Front government took no initiative to fill them up. The new government is trying to fill up these posts and all possible measures are being taken to avoid any mistake.

The Finance Department memorandum has become a major political issue in the state as the opposition CPI(M) and its students and youth wings launched a massive agitation demanding the withdrawal of the memorandum. They have organised rally in different places and threatened to continue it till their demand is not fulfilled.

The minister said in the name of agitation it is a calculated step to misguide the educated youths and create unrest in the state. He said such attempt will not succeed as the people know that this government is committed to fulfil all its assurance including providing job to the unemployed youths.
