Resolution passed for creation of Delhi PSC

NEW DELHI: On the first day of the Delhi Assembly monsoon session, the AAP government passed a resolution for the creation of Delhi Public Service Commission, which will not only give power to the state government over officials recruited through the commission but also provide basic "services" in the city. While presenting the resolution, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief Spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said that the Commission would be created "within a period of six weeks from the date of adoption of this resolution."

Taking cognizance of huge number of vacancies in various sectors of governance, Bharadwaj said: "Unfulfilled vacancies are increasing in number every year due to huge workload on and set priorities of recruiting agencies such as UPSC, leading to further deficiencies in delivery of services."

Hence, he said, the legislative Assembly of NCT of Delhi resolves that there shall be a separate Public Service Commission for Delhi.
