Hazaribag Collectorate is suffering from lack of employees in different departments. There are 148 sanctioned posts of lower divisional clerk in the Hazaribag collectorate, out of which only 41 employees are working here. There are so many posts on which employees are under the burden of two or three departments.
On the other hand, there are 329 posts of upper division clerk in the collectorate. The lower division clerks have been promoted as senior divisional clerk. But no direct recruitment was made by the Government.
The officers of so many departments have been facing the problem of shortage of the employees. They said that every year the employees are going to retire from the department but fresh recruitment has not been done by the Government.
Sources said that due to lack of employees the quick disposal of the work has been delayed. In the revenue department 131 posts are sanctioned but only 66 revenue employees are working and 65 are vacant. For the post of revenue inspector 22 posts are sanctioned but only 9 inspectors are working.
Out of 35 sanctioned posts of driver, only 12 are working. 11 posts of stenographer are sanctioned but only three are working. There are so many posts that are vacant in the regional offices.
