He asked the concerned officials to take all measures necessary to ensure Sunday’s examination process is completed in the same seamless manner as that for the grade-IV positions earlier.

Director general of police Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta, principal secretary (Home & Political) Niraj Verma and other officials apprised the chief minister of the steps they have taken to ensure smooth conduct of the examination on Sunday.
The chief minister observed that if vacant positions in the government are filled up with people chosen entirely on merit, it would lead to an environment of efficiency in the government machinery. This, the chief minister stated, in the long run will prove crucial in transforming the state into one of the most developed and progressive in the country.
Referring to the recruitment examinations to grade-IV positions held on August 21, the chief minister expressed happiness over the number of absentees being negligible, as compared to other recruitment tests held earlier in the state. This was due to the transparency in the recruitment that the administration has been able to maintain, the chief minister added.
