Even as protests by many youths and opposition parties continue against what they allege is backdoor appointments in state government services, the CPI-(M) led Kerala government on Monday regularised 151 more temporary appointments in various departments.
Justifying the move, a communique issued after the Cabinet meeting stated that regularisation was made applicable only in appointments that have not been referred to the State Public Service Commission (PSC).
Jobs of hundreds of temporary staff have been regularised in the last few weeks, and more such files are in the pipeline, it is learnt.
