No fin dept nod, state nixes agri recruitment drive
Times of India | 27 December 2025
Kolkata: State govt has directed the agricultural marketing department to scrap the recruitment process of 26 contractual engineers as it was started without the approval of the finance department. Nabanna has asked the department to submit a report by Monday.
"As any recruitment creates a financial burden on the exchequer, it was decided that before initiating any recruitment process, the nod of the finance department was mandatory," said an official. An agricultural marketing official said they had sought approval for recruitment in various posts earlier and so did not seek further clearance.
