Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena has approved the recruitment of 1,463 healthcare staff in a bid to address the shortage of healthcare personnel and improve the national capital’s public healthcare infrastructure.
This order of the LG, that follows a High Court decision, will exempt such societies /schools from paying additional FAR charges, in the process liberating them from red tape and the harassment of running around to the Education Department and DDA, the LG office said on Saturday.
“Instructed senior officials present to strictly adhere to timelines prescribed for upgrading and augmenting the infrastructure and manpower required for their smooth implementation,” stated the post.
The Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Saturday wrote to Chief Minister Atishi urging her to immediately re-appointment civil defence volunteers (CDVs) who were removed as bus marshals last year and called for a long term engagement plan for the volunteers.
With the L-G's approval, the minimum educational requirement for the MTS (Multi-Tasking Staff) position has been reduced from 10th standard to 8th standard. This move is a critical step in providing assistance and justice to the 1984 riot victims.
