At the new PSC Complex, Chairman of PSC Lateef-uz-Zaman Deva brought to his notice the urgent need for an examination centre within the premises of the complex. The Chief Minister agreed in principle to the proposal for constructing ground and first floor in Phase I for which deputy commissioner Srinagar was assigned the task to make land appurtenant to the PSC complex available. He said the an in-house examination centre, with a seating capacity of 2,500, will facilitate conduct of competitive examinations and reduce dependence on other educational institutions. Among a slew of measures to facilitate the prospective aspirants is the 'One Time Registration' (OTR), which will generate sms alerts to the candidates for posts which are commensurate with his or her qualification, the spokesman said. He said Sayeed also visited the Old Legislature Complex, which is being restored with expertise from Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, Kashmir Chapter. Sayeed went around the premises and was particularly enthralled by the old paper-machie work on the ceilings of the historic complex.

The complex presently houses several offices including State Human Rights Commission, State Vigilance Commission, State Accountability Commission and the State Information Commission. Later, the Chief Minister visited the new SPS Library Complex, where he issued directions for improving the quality of furniture in the library halls. During his inspection of the Old Zero Bridge on Jhelum river, Sayeed said the structure should be restored by keeping its heritage value intact.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
