Rise in Govt Jobs Leads to Decrease in Youth Migration - Kang
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, September 27-
The AAP commended CM Bhagwant Mann for providing a substantial number of govt jobs. AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang stated that the Mann government has given over 45,000 government positions to youth in the last two and a half years, without any bribery or recommendations.
Speaking to the media at the Chandigarh party office on Friday, Malvinder Kang highlighted that under previous governments, individuals often had to pay lakhs of rupees in bribes for government jobs, with many positions going to the families and relatives of politicians. As a result of the lack of employment opportunities, many young people felt compelled to seek work abroad.
Kang detailed the job statistics, noting that the government has made hundreds of appointments across various departments, including 4,870 in the Local Body Department, 4,953 in the Electricity Department, 692 in the Agriculture Department, 700 in the Animal Husbandry Department, 1,234 in the Cooperative Department, 1,369 in the Health Department, 909 in the Jail Department, 564 in the Public Works Department, 2,220 in Revenue, and 1,779 in the Water Resources Department. On September 24th, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann distributed 586 appointment letters for the Health Department.
