Shimla: In a crucial development, the Himachal Pradesh Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, has given the go-ahead for the announcement of results for Post Codes 903 and 939. The Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog has been authorized to release the results while keeping five posts under Post Code 903 and six posts under Post Code 939 vacant. These positions will remain on hold until the ongoing investigations and court proceedings conclude.
This decision comes in the wake of a broader review of recruitment processes in the state, ensuring transparency and accountability. The investigation into certain posts under these codes is part of the government’s efforts to maintain fairness in hiring practices.
In addition to the recruitment decisions, the Cabinet approved several other significant measures, including the elevation of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) in Solan as the apex institution for school and teacher training at the state level.
