Govt to regularize employees appointed prior to June 6, 2016

In a significant development, the Nagaland Legislative Assembly on Thursday passed a resolution “on regularization of employees” in Group A, B, C & D posts appointed prior to June 6, 2016.
Leader of the house and chief minister Neiphiu Rio moved the resolution during the fourth session of the 14th Assembly which was unanimously adopted by voice vote. Rio emphasized the State’s responsibility as a welfare State, as guaranteed in the Constitution, to provide basic economic security to the citizens and to protect the livelihood of the employees working in any department.
In line with this, the house resolved to adopt a policy to carry out a one-time exercise for regularization of Group A, B, C & D employees appointed on contractual or ad-hoc basis against sanctioned posts prior to June 6, 2016 and have completed 10 (ten) years of service, by conducting a suitability test by which they may be regularized against the post they are occupying provided they fulfill all the criteria as laid down in this policy.
