The Tamil Nadu Registration Department Officials Association, a newly-formed body encompassing four associations of the department, has urged the State government to take steps to fill up vacant posts in the department immediately.
A large number of posts were lying vacant in the department resulting in workload for existing employees. Explaining the responsibility of the department in protecting land records, the resolution specifically wanted posting of watchmen and office assistants at all sub-registrars’ offices across the State.
Another resolution pleaded for releasing the seniority list of assistants, sub-registrars, and district registrars. It also sought a ban on the direct recruitment of sub-registrars.
S.E.Vasudevan, State coordinator of the association, said that the sesquicentennial celebrations of the department would fall in 2014 and the association has planned to invite Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for the celebrations. N.Suki Premila, taluk supply officer, who was presented with the ‘Kalpana Chawla’ award, was honoured on the occasion for her bravery in stopping smuggling of PDS rice from Tamil Nadu.
Vasanthakumar, president, Tamil Nadu Sub-Registrars’ Association, and Gauthaman, sub-registrar, Co-operative Societies, spoke.
The following were elected as office bearers of the association: S.E. Vasudevan (president), A. Jayasankar (general secretary), K.Murugesan (treasurer). A 12-member executive was also elected .
