He said that employee welfare, in line with the state govt's intent, should be treated as a key priority. These directives were issued during a discussion on the newly introduced Public Service Promotion Rules-2025, held on Thursday at the secretariat.
The chief secretary said the implementation of these rules would resolve a long-standing issue that has persisted for nine years. Their enforcement will lead to greater administrative efficiency, he said.
Besides, he emphasised the need to conduct meetings of the Departmental Consultative Committees and ensure timely resolution of confidential reports, departmental inquiries, and pension matters of employees.
The employees at the state secretariat have already voiced their opposition to the new promotion rules, which they allege sideline the interests of general category, backward class and minority employees.
