Officials, on deputation, from other organisations will not be taken in at the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). This decision will put an end to internal rift in the organization and people lobbying to get absorbed permanently, sources said.
NHAI Board circular said, “Now that NHAI has been able to substantially build up its own cadre in the technical field, the need for absorption of officers in the authority has been reviewed and in this regard. In compliance to the decision of the authority and accordingly, the provision pertaining to absorption in the Rule-13 of NHAI (Recruitment, Seniority and Promotion) may be treated as deleted.”
However, NHAI officials added that the authority will continue to hire officials and engineers at higher levels on deputation and they can remain in the position for the prescribed period.
