CM ukhvinder Singh Sukhu while talking to the media persons, here today said that the present state government is committed to provide employment to the youth of the state.

He said that there are many such posts in various departments of the government which are not functional for many years. The designation of those posts is being changed on the basis of current requirements. At present, the posts of JOA (IT) are being created and filled in place of Clerk Typist. These posts are not being abolished and their designation is being changed after completing various formalities. In this regard, a letter has also been issued by the Finance Department to various departments on 23rd October, 2024.
He said that new posts are being created in place of those posts which have been lying vacant for many years in various departments and which have no relevance. The departments are keeping these posts on their budget books and on their basis assess the budget related needs and send proposals to the government.
