Harish reminds State government of job calendar promise

He pointed out that the process for recruitment of 7094 staff nurses was initiated and completed by the BRS government.

Hyderabad: BRS MLA and former minister T Harish Rao said on Tuesday the Congress government, which was expected to issue the Group 1 notification as announced on February 1, was out to divert the attention of job aspirants by hurriedly issuing appointment orders for staff nurses. He pointed out that the process for recruitment of 7094 staff nurses was initiated and completed by the BRS government. But the Congress government was seeking to claim credit for an achievement of the previous government.

He wanted the Congress government to strive to implement what it had promised and thereby live up to the expectations of the people. He regretted that Congress government was reluctant to change the name of the nursing positions in to nursing officers and senior nursing officers. Extending his greetings to the selected staff nurses, Harish Rao wished them to excel in their profession by providing excellent services to the people. He commended the Telangana Medical and Health Services Recruitment Board (MHSRB) for successfully filling all the 7,094 staff nurse posts notified by the previous regime.
