Contract appointments should be made through Employment Exchange, needs transparency, demands CPI; CM and others didn’t respond to remark

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPI state secretary Kanam Rajendran said that transparency is needed in temporary appointments. CPI's suggestion comes in the context of the controversial letter issued by Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation.

The LDF leadership meeting demanded that contract appointments should be made through the Employment Exchange and permanent appointments only through the PSC. Appointments in many institutions have been left to the PSC but no further action has been taken in this regard. Kanam Rajendran demanded to take action on this matter.

Neither Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan nor other members who attended the meeting responded to Kanam Rajendran's comments. Meanwhile, LDF convener EP Jayarajan said that the issue raised by Kanam can be included as part of the development document.
