Plea to fill vacancies in schools

The Adi Dravidar Munnetra Kazhagam has urged the Kanyakumari district administration to fill vacant posts in schools run by the Adi Dravidar Welfare Department.

In a petition submitted to the Collector here on Monday, its State convenor John Victor Doss said that the Director of Adi Dravidar Welfare Department had issued an order for the recruitment of watchmen, cooks, assistants and sweepers to fill vacant posts in day schools and residential schools. Vacant posts in other districts had been filled much earlier.

Though the authorities obtained the seniority list from the employment office, it had been kept in abeyance, he said.
