500 compassionate jobs in AP power sector

Amaravati: Energy Minister Gottipati Ravi Kumar stated that the coalition government led by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is extending assurance and support to affected families through compassionate appointments.

On Friday, he distributed compassionate appointment letters to the family members of employees who lost their lives in various power sector–related accidents, at his chambers in the AP Secretariat. A total of 27 family members of deceased employees received compassionate appointment letters from Energy Minister Ravi Kumar and Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand.

Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that so far nearly 500 eligible candidates have been provided employment under compassionate appointments in the power sector.

He recalled that during the previous YSRCP Government, even candidates with higher educational qualifications and full eligibility were appointed only to junior assistant–level posts.

After the formation of the coalition government, compassionate appointments are being made strictly based on educational qualifications, enabling the filling of even Junior Engineer posts to effectively utilise the skills of eligible candidates.
