There are about 1.43 million government employees against more than 1.82 million posts, according to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Public Administration. Of the vacancies, over 105,000 are class-I and II posts, while class-III and class-IV account for over 280,000 vacant posts. A public administration ministry official blamed the ministries’ indifference for the pile of vacant posts. However, the commission issued several recruitment notices for non-cadre posts in the first week of June. Another official said there would be fewer appointments in the non-cadre posts this year than in the past.
