CM urged to fill posts

By Our Special Correspondent

VIJAYAWADA, MAY 27. The AP Unemployed Struggle Committee has urged the Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, to take steps to fill the 2.5 lakh-odd vacancies in various Government departments at the earliest.

Welcoming the Chief Minister's gesture in signing the free power file during his swearing-in ceremony, the committee president, R. Krishnaiah, said, in a statement on Thursday, that the Government which accorded the top priority to farmers' cause should now concentrate on the unemployed youth. The unemployed youth who were thoroughly dissatisfied with the nine-year Telugu Desam rule ensured the Congress' victory in the elections hoping that the party would help them.

According to Mr. Krishnaiah, there were about 1.4 lakh non-gazetted, 28,000 gazetted, 50,000 Class IV and 45,000 technical posts lying vacant in different Government departments which needed to be filled.

Giving the department-wise break up of the vacancies, he said that despite the existence of large number of vacancies, the previous Government did not fill them on one pretext or the other.

And, as executive posts in many a department had been lying vacant, the implementation of development and welfare programmes suffered a lot, he said.
