NGOs' Association expresses concern over the delay in awarding timely promotion of HGCs & Head Clerks

The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association has expressed concern over the delay in awarding timely promotion of HGCs and Head Clerks in the AC Cadre of Andaman and Nicobar Administration. In a letter, addressed to the Secretary(Personnel), the Association has drawn attention towards a good number of HGCs and Head Clerks waiting for their promotion since a long period. It was also pointed out that in spite of clear cut vacancies in the post of Head Clerk and Office Superintendent, the promotion to these employees are delayed stating the reason of providing required training. It is a well known fact that the responsibility for conducting the required training lies with the Administration and it is a complete injustice that the promotions to these deserving employees are delayed stating such a reason.

The Association has also suggested for imparting training to Head Clerks on seniority basis and also providing a one-time exemption of regular promotion to the Office Superintendents who are on ad-hoc basis.
