New Delhi [India], November 12 (ANI): Delhi Lieutenant Governor, Vinai Kumar Saxena has directed for the immediate appointment of 2,346 Home Guards, who have qualified for their Physical Measurement and Efficiency Test (PMET) and written test, even as other vacancies amounting to 7,939 await outcome of two pending court cases, said an official statement from Lieutenant Governor office on Tuesday.
With this, the above-mentioned 2,346 candidates, who have qualified, will not have to wait unduly.
The LG has also directed that a dedicated medical camp be organized within one week for the medical tests of the qualified candidates and subsequently hand over their appointment letters at the earliest.
It may be recalled that the LG had earlier approved the enrolment of 10,285 Home Guard Volunteers in January 2024 with provisions of 33.33 per cent reservation for women.
Subsequently, an advertisement was issued for filling up these 10,285 vacancies on 23.01.2024 wherein 1,09,001 applicants had applied but only 32,511 reported for the PMET.
In the interim, certain applicants moved the High Court on various issues whereby the Court ordered maintenance of the status quo while a decision was taken.
However, 2346 candidates were free from encumbrance arising out of these court cases and the LG has approved their appointment after medical tests so as to ensure that they do not face any undue delay in their appointments.
Saxena has also directed the DG Home Guards to ensure that the remaining 7,939 vacancies are also filled at the earliest after taking cognisance of the decisions of the High Court in related matters. (ANI)
