Chandigarh: The Punjab government has introduced reservation in posts of law officers. The advertisement in this regard was issued by the department of home affairs on Saturday in which applications have been called from eligible scheduled caste advocate candidates for engagement as law officers in the office of the advocate general, Punjab at Chandigarh and legal cell, New Delhi.
As per details, applications have been invited for 12 posts of additional advocate general — 10 at Chandigarh and two at Delhi — five posts of senior deputy advocate general at Chandigarh, 16 posts of the deputy advocate general and 23 posts of assistant advocate general by September 13. Chief minister Bhagwant Mann said the state government had been implementing the reservation policy “in true spirit” to ensure that candidates of weaker and underprivileged sections got equal opportunity of getting jobs. Mann said that, unlike the previous governments which had only paid lip service to the welfare of the SC community, the Aam Aadmi Party government has taken tangible steps in this regard.
