Associations seek their cancellation
Alleging irregularities, at least three staff associations in the Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department have demanded the cancellation of more than 800 appointments made across many districts before the Assembly election. The appointments mostly included cooks for hostels and a few watchmen and office assistants. At the outset, the associations questioned the need and urgency for recruiting hundreds of cooks and watchmen for hostels on a regular time scale pay when the hostels have remained closed since the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020.
