NAMCHI, 03 Dec: South District members of the All Sikkim Group ‘D’ Government Employees Association have expressed their dismay over the delay in their promotion to the post of LDCs.
According to the association, on 05 May earlier this year during a meeting with the association in Gangtok, the Chief Minister had assured that all LDC vacancies would be filled through promotion. They have stated that the Chief Minister had announced that Group ‘D’ Government employees who have passed Class X would be provided with one-time relaxation and given this promotion.
However, seven months have passed since and there has been no progress in the matter, they said. Employees from various parts of South Sikkim like Melli, Namthang, Jorethang, Ravangla, Temi Tarku and Namchi have blamed it on the lack of interest on the part of the concerned department and the central body of the association as well.
They further mentioned that the central body of the association and the concerned department should take the initiative and follow up on this matter as the employees from districts cannot take leave time and again for the same.
