Delhi government's services department, which is directly under the control of the Lt. Governor, has advised all departmental heads to fill up vacant posts under both direct and promotional quota in their respective departments in a time-bound manner. The department deals with the service matters of IAS officers of the Delhi government, DANI Civil Service officers and those belonging to Delhi Administration Subordinate Services cadre and stenographers cadre.
The move follows days after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal represented to Lt. Governor Anil Baijal and drew his attention to over 36,000 vacancies across departments and institutions of the Delhi government, saying he can do nothing due to lack of control over "services".
