Punjab cabinet approves restructuring of 4 more depts & PPCB to boost efficiency

Chandigarh, Mar 4 (UNI) Carrying forward the state government’s thrust on augmenting efficiencies through rationalisation, the Punjab Cabinet on Thursday approved restructuring of four more departments, including the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB), to create more employment opportunities in place of archaic, non-essential and long-vacant posts.
Besides PPCB, the departments that will be restructured in this phase are Governance Reforms, Environment & Climate Change, and Employment Generation, Skill Development and Training, an official spokesperson said after the virtual Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh.
The restructuring of the Governance Reforms department would lead to creation of 56 new posts while doing away with 75 obsolete ones. The 20 new posts across cadres will be filled through Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC), Punjab Subordinate Service Selection Board (PSSSB), etc.
