In Jammu and Kashmir, the Administrative Council (AC) under the Chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha approved the re-consideration of its earlier decision of September last year and restored provisions for drawing up of wait lists in recruitment to public services. Our Correspondent reports that the AC decided to withdraw the amendments made out in J&K Civil Services Decentralization and Recruitment Rules, 2010, and other rules or regulations in any other department or service ab initio. It was also decided to grant a one-time exemption to recruiting agencies to draw up wait lists within six months, for those select lists, which have been issued since the earlier decision. The decision shall help in the timely filing of vacancies, with additional benefits such as avoidance of delays in re-referral of vacancies, reduction of time consumed in subsequent selections, and allow candidates to secure employment before attainment of the upper-age limit.<br />''<br />''<br />
