JAMMU, May 19 : Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Monday approved the reconstitution of the Ladakh Police Subordinate Service Recruitment Board, reaffirming the Union Territory administration’s commitment to fair, transparent and merit-based recruitment for local youth.
Highlighting the importance of the move, Saxena said the administration is dedicated to ensuring equal and transparent opportunities in public service for the youth of Ladakh.
Officials said the decision was taken following a proposal from the Ladakh Police Headquarters in view of administrative changes and the earlier unavailability of some board members. The step aims to ensure the smooth and timely conduct of recruitment examinations in the police department.
The reconstituted board will oversee recruitment for all notified Group ‘B’ non-gazetted posts, including Sub-Inspector (Level-6C), and Group ‘C’ posts such as Constable (Level-02) cadre and Follower Level-SL-2 posts in Ladakh Police.
The Lieutenant Governor said a credible and professionally managed recruitment system would strengthen the confidence of aspiring candidates and create greater employment opportunities for local youth.
DIG Leh-Kargil Range Koshal Kumar Sharma has been appointed Chairman of the board, while SSP Traffic Ladakh Vikas Kumar will serve as Member Secretary. Other members include SP Security Fulzele Piyush Nirakar, SP Leh Raam R, SP Kargil Nitin Yadav, DySP DAR Leh Padma Dorjey and DySP Headquarters Kargil Anayatullah.
Officials said the board has been tasked with ensuring a fair, technology-enabled and merit-based recruitment process under the Transparent Recruitment Process framework.
The recruitment system will incorporate biometric verification, CCTV surveillance, digital attendance, online applications and other technological safeguards to maintain integrity and credibility in the selection process.
