Govt assures action if irregularities in appointment in university

Patna, Mar 8 (UNI) Bihar's agriculture minister Narendra Singh today said strong action would be taken if any irregularity was found in the appointments of the Rajendra Agricultural University.

An inquiry was already underway into the appointments of the university.

Replying in the state Assembly Mr Singh said that a committee had been constituted to probe into the appointments made earlier. He said fresh apointments were being banned temporarily though interviews for some posts in the university were on.

To this some Opposition members alleged said the fresh advertisment for the appointment without clearing the backlogs was confusing. They demanded cancellation of fresh advertisments and the appointments made without clearance of the backlogs in the interest of the Dalits and backward people.

The minister assured them to cancel the appointments in case he was dissatisfied with the probing report once he got it.

Later Speaker Udai Narayan Choudhry pacified the members by announcing to personally look into the matter in the presence of the concerned minister and the members who had raised it.
