The Department of Animal Husbandry has 5,263 vacancies against the sanctioned strength of 7,363 posts, said Prabhu Chavan, Minister for Animal Husbandry in the Legislative Council in Belagavi on December 15.
Responding to a question, the Minister said the government had begun the process of recruiting 900 veterinary doctors. D Group employees and drivers are being appointed through outsourcing agencies, he said.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
