Following the understanding reached between the State government and the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC), the government has appealed to the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) to withdraw its ongoing agitation on the issue of revamping of NPSC.
Additional chief secretary to the chief minister, Lalthara in a letter to NSF president informed that the chief minister held a meeting with all members of NPSC at his residential office Friday afternoon, wherein it was agreed that the Commission would implement in full the NPSC (chairman, members and staff) Regulations, 2008, and the NPSC (State civil and other services) Recruitment Rules, 2008, as notified earlier by the State government.
The meeting also agreed to set up a committee under the chairmanship of State chief secretary, to study the suggestions made by NPSC for modifications and amendments of certain provisions of the two mentioned rules.
“However, the NPSC shall not postpone, or hold back any examination or other actions in anticipation of such amendments suggested by them,” the release said.
It also informed that the Commission would also conduct all pending examinations for technical posts in MCQ pattern as directed by the State government and the dates of examination would be re-fixed by NPSC. The release also pointed out that during a later meeting of the NSF with the chief minister Friday afternoon, the latter had assured the Federation that the government would actively pursue other recommendations of the NPSC Revamping Committee relating to strengthening of the staff and establishment of the NPSC.
