Shillong, Dec 10 The cabinet has decided to confirm and formally recognise the appointments of 221 bonded nurses, as well as bonded paramedic staff, who were appointed between 2008 and 2012.
After the cabinet meeting , Chief Minister Conrad Sangma told reporters that previously, the cabinet had resolved that all appointments made after 2007 that did not follow the proper procedures and were considered ad hoc would need to be re-advertised for recruitment. As a result, the bonded nurses were initially included in that list. However, after detailed discussions with the health department, consultations with the bonded nurses, and a thorough review of all relevant documentation, the cabinet has confirmed that the appointments made during that period did in fact follow the required procedures. Accordingly, the cabinet has tl approved and recognized the appointments made between 2008 and 2012. Therefore, recruitment for those positions will no longer be necessary, as the existing appointments have now been validated.
