Union Minister Requests UPSC Chairman to Cancel Lateral Entry Advertisement Following PM’s Directive

In a significant development on Tuesday, the Minister of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) formally requested the Chairman of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to withdraw the advertisement for lateral entry positions. This decision follows direct instructions from the Prime Minister.

The advertisement, which was aimed at filling various senior positions through lateral entry, has been a point of contention. The Minister’s request to cancel the advertisement indicates a shift in policy or strategy, likely influenced by recent developments or concerns raised at the highest levels of government.

The Prime Minister’s directive underscores the importance of aligning public service recruitment practices with current administrative priorities and ensuring that the process meets the expectations of governance and transparency.

Further details on the rationale behind this request and its potential implications for the UPSC’s recruitment process are anticipated as the situation develops.
