“I announce regularisation of all temporary Group C & D employees who have completed four years of service by December 31 as the notification in this regard has been issued,” he said while addressing the State-Level Temporary Employees’ Convention at Public Ground in Rangpo.
Tamang, also president of the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha, also directed all Heads of Departments to prepare a seniority-based list of temporary employees and expedite the process of distributing appointment orders.
The chief minister said that his government has consistently worked for the welfare of the people and will continue to do so.
He also announced a hike in the honorarium for MGNREGA barefoot engineers from Rs 7,000 to Rs 10,000.
