सभी विभागों में खाली पदों को भरना सरकार के लिए संभव नहीं : जय राम ठाकुर

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today said it was not possible for the government to fill all vacant posts in various departments.

  He was replying to a query about vacant posts in the Health Department raised by Ram Lal Thakur and JR Kat- wal during Question Hour. "Many posts are lying vacant even in my constituency Seraj and it is not possible to fill all posts,” he said. The endeavour of the government was to fill functional posts so that better services could be provided to people. He assured the House that the posts of doctor and para- medical staff would be filled soon. 

"It is due to special incentives and untiring efforts of the government that doctors are serving even in rural and remote areas, providing quality care to the people," he said. 

Thakur said the govern- ment was laying emphasis on strengthening infrastructure and staff in the Health Department for which an enhanced budgetary allocation had also been made for the sector. Replying to a query by Vinod Kumar, Health and Family Welfare Minister Rajeev Saizal said 225 doctors had been found to be Covid positive during pandemic since last year.
