The FKJGP president, Dundee Cliff Khongsit and general secretary Eldie N Lyngdoh said it had come to their notice that there are around 130 sanctioned posts of Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE)/Assistant Engineer (AE) and 125 sanctioned posts of Junior Engineer (JE) in the Electrical/Mechanical Cadres and the Sub Cadres. i.e. Electronics and Computer Engineers under MePDCL from the restructuring of the MePDCL 2023 issued vide Office Order No: MeECL/CA/GA/95/2012/Pt-11/93, Dated 12.7.2023 which still remain vacant in the MePDCL.
“We would like to mention here that the slow process of the recruitment for the Technical Staff by the MePDCL does not only hamper the smooth functioning of the department but it also deprives the job opportunities for the thousands of qualified unemployed youth within our state”, he said.
The FKJGP leaders asked the power department to immediately intervene into the matter at the earliest.
“We expect a positive response from your end in this matter for the sake of the educated unemployed youth of the state”, the FKJGP leaders said in the letter addressed to Mondal.
Mondal said that recruitment will be carried out but financial constraints were the issues
