By admin On Jul 17, 2024

Ahmedabad, July 17: The Gujarat government on Wednesday rejected a media report which claimed that Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel had decided to end the practice of hiring contract employees and instead ordered to fill vacancies through regular recruitment. The General Administration Department made the assertion after a report over contractual hiring in the state government went viral on social media.

“Some news and social media platforms have published a report which claimed that the state government has decided to end the contract system and fill up all government jobs, including Class 3 and 4, through regular recruitment only,” the department said in a statement. “This is not true. The state government has neither taken such a decision nor were such instructions given to anyone. This is to clarify that there is no change in the state government’s current policy on recruitment,” the statement said.
