Letter:
This is in relation to a news item reported under the headlines ‘Sikkim RTI Forum accuses IPR department of unfair recruitment practices’ published in Sikkim NOW dated 01 December 2012.
It is hereby clarified that the Sikkim Service Public Service Commission as of date has not made any appointment of eleven persons in the IPR Department on Ad-hoc basis nor their services regularized as alleged. The Sikkim Public Service Commission is a constitutional body and only makes recommendations to the State Government for any appointment after conducting selection tests/interviews as per rules. The Commission therefore is not mandated to make any appointment as such. While the Commission is open to any clarification/information sought by the candidates, it is reiterated that newspaper carrying such misleading news items may be directed to verify the authenticity of such information with the Commission, at the first instance before going to print.
Secretary, Sikkim Public Service Commission
