Chandigarh, May 5 (IANS) Announcing a recruitment drive on completion of 50 days of the AAP government, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday reiterated his government's commitment to give jobs to the eligible candidates on the basis of their educational qualifications.
Affirming the entire recruitment process to be accomplished in an absolutely transparent and fair manner, the Chief Minister said any sort of unfair practice in terms of recommendations or bribery would find no place in the ongoing massive recruitment drive.
In a video message, Mann said the recruitment for 26,454 vacancies in 25 different departments would be accomplished in a corruption-free and impartial manner. He said the state government had already issued a detailed advertisement in the newspapers, mentioning the number of vacancies, recruiting agency and links of departmental websites for recruitment details to facilitate the candidates.
Promising enormous job opportunities for the youth, Mann said the state government would soon come up with more government and private jobs to provide livelihood to the youths to enable them to lead a life with dignity.
He referred to several pro-people initiatives likely to be taken by his government which would be announced in the general budget 2022-23 during the budget session of the Vidhan Sabha.
Over 7,400 Indian nationals are expected to be evacuated under the 'Operation Ganga' in the next two days, the government said on Thursday. The Centre has initiated an airlift operation to evacuate Indians, who have found their way to the neighbouring countries of war-torn Ukraine.
This advisory, prepared by the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, warns about aerial raids, missile attacks, artillery shelling, small arms and gunfire, grenade explosions and 'Molotov cocktails', including by local people/militia.
The flight IX-1202 with 183 passengers, including an infant, arrived at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at around 5.40 a.m. The evacuees were received by Union Minister of State for Railways Raosaheb Danve-Patil with flowers and words of solace as they trooped out lugging their belongings.
"Indian students are being pushed out of trains, they are not allowed to board, if questioned they are being assaulted and guns are being pointed at them,". There are many incidents where Indians were asked to leave bunkers. Ukraninans are telling Indian students that India is not supporting them and why should they help them?
The two leaders reviewed the situation, especially in the city of Kharkiv where many Indian students are stuck, and discussed the safe evacuation of Indian nationals from the conflict areas, an MEA statement said.
Officials said the administration was in touch with the families of 32 students belonging to the Jammu division who are stranded in Ukraine. Officials said nine evacuation flights have so far brought back around 2,000 Indians stranded in Ukraine since February 26.
