Bhopal: The Mantralaya Seva Adhikari/Karmachari Sangh has called upon the State Government to review and amend certain provisions of the Finance Department circular issued on December 22, 2025, in pursuance of the Council of Ministers’ decision taken on December 16.
In a press statement, union president Sudhir Nayak said that although work-charged and permanent contingency fund employees have been declared a “dying cadre”, those presently in service should be regularised before the cadre is phased out. He said this would have been a more employee-friendly decision.
The union pointed out that the provision for compassionate appointments against regular posts is largely unworkable due to the prolonged freeze on promotions, which has resulted in a lack of vacancies. It therefore demanded that compassionate appointments be permitted against non-scheduled posts.
Raising concerns over Clause 2.7 of the circular, the union warned that continuation of outsourced posts beyond March 2027 could be misused to abolish regular posts and replace them with outsourced staff.
The union also expressed concern over the absence of clarity on the future of guest teachers, ASHA and Usha workers, anganwadi staff, home guards and others, demanding their regularisation or, at the very least, a guarantee of job security.
