Congratulating the new recruits, Saxena said they are fortunate to work for the people in the national capital and they should appreciate the dignity attached to their jobs. This job will not only help them grow individually but it will also help their families, the society and the nation as a whole.
Complementing the youth for their success in getting recruited through a process of examination and selection, the LG underlined the fact that there were many in the government, who have been appointed in an ad hoc manner that raised doubts of favouritism and objectivity in their appointment.
He lamented this practice of appointing individuals on contract basis against permanent vacancies in government and assured that such appointments will be quashed at the earliest and the vacancy will be filled through the due selection process, which would ensure permanent employment to deserving candidates.
