The Graduate Electrical Engineers Association of Nagaland (GEEAN) and All Nagaland Unemployed Diploma Electrical Engineers Association (ANUDEEA) met Er Khose Sale, the chairman of the committee formed by the government to look into the demands of the two associations, on November 11.
During the meeting, Er. Sale, who is also the Superintending Engineer (Power), said the committee is trying its best to sort out the lapses at the earliest. He also assured that the committee would forward all the necessary documents to the government in next two days so as to speed up the court case about the 12 JE posts kept in abeyance by Gauhati High Court, GEEAN president Meshenlo Kath and ANUDEEA president Hitolu Yeptho said in a joint release on Wednesday.
The chairman of the committee also assured that 19 vacant posts of JE would be advertised this year. He further said if the court cannot clear the case of 12 JE posts at the earliest then the remaining seven vacant posts would be added as addendum to the advertisement when the court case is cleared, the joint release said.
The GEEAN and ANUDEEA said as per RTI report 15 JE posts on contract basis and four JE posts, totaling 19 posts, are lying vacant under Power department.
Chief Engineer (Power) informed the two organizations on November 1 that there are six vacant posts of SDO which be filled up through promotion from the lower grade (those serving as JE). The two engineers bodies said if six vacant posts of SDO are filled through promotion, another six posts of JE totaling 25 will be vacant.
“Also, it is clearly known that the department has some vacant posts of System Analyst and JE which are to be filled by Electronics and Communication Engineers(EC) and Civil Engineers(CE),” the two organizations stated.
The GEEAN and ANUDEEA requested their members and the public to check that a minimum of 19 posts of JE and six posts of SDO (if not filled through promotion) or a minimum of 25 posts of JE (if six SDO posts are filled through promotion) are advertised along with those vacant posts of System Analyst and JE (Civil).
