Business Standard: Nagpur: Saturday, August 22, 2015.
Maharashtra's
Nagpur division, the home turf of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, got
priority in filling up government vacancies though it is way down in the list
requiring attention, an RTI query has revealed.
The Fadnavis
Government has put Nagpur at top of the list followed by Amravati, Aurangabad
and Nashik divisions in terms of filling up pending vacancies through direct
recruitment or promotions, said RTI activist Anil Galgali, who filed the plea,
citing information provided by officials.
In this
process, the regions of Konkan and Pune have been pushed to the lower order.
Galgali had
filed a query seeking information about the Government Resolution (GR) issued
on filling up vacancies region-wise for various posts, either through direct
recruitment or promotions.
General
Administration Department Under-Secretary and Public Information Officer A K
Gagare informed Galgali that the Government on April 28, 2015 issued a GR for
filling up vacancies in Revenue Department for Group A and B of gazetted and
non-gazetted officers through direct recruitment or promotions.
The state had
1,30,251 vacant posts at the end of 2014.
Amravati
division accounted for the highest at 16.61 per cent followed by Konkan
division (15.3%), Pune division (14.18%), Nashik (13.18%), Nagpur (12.26%) and
Aurangabad divisions (11.14%), it was informed.
Fadnavis gave
top priority to Nagpur. He issued directive for filling up the vacancies in the
rotational order of Nagpur/Amravati/Aurangabad/Nashik, overlooking the need of
Konkan and Pune divisions, Galgali said.
