Chandigarh, November 10
Reaffirming the Punjab Government’s commitment to supporting families of government employees who lost their lives while in service, Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Balbir Singh on Tuesday handed over appointment letters to 11 candidates recruited on compassionate grounds in the Department of Health and Family Welfare.
The appointment letters were distributed at the Minister’s office in Chandigarh. The newly appointed candidates include five Clerks, three Peons, two Ward Attendants and one Medical Laboratory Technician Grade-II.
Those appointed as Clerks include Prathamdeep Singh, Renu Bala, Ritu, Divjot and Kamaljit Kaur. Gagandeep Kaur has been appointed as Medical Laboratory Technician Grade-II, while Madhu, Sahil and Hargurlal Singh have been appointed as Peons. Anuj Thakur and Jatinder Kaur have received appointments as Ward Attendants.
Congratulating the newly appointed candidates, Dr Balbir Singh urged them to perform their duties with dedication, honesty, professionalism and a strong sense of public service. He encouraged them to work with empathy and remain committed to serving the people.
The Health Minister said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Punjab Government stands firmly with the families of government employees who have lost their lives during service. Although the loss of a family member can never be compensated, providing government employment on compassionate grounds helps affected families achieve financial stability, security and a dignified livelihood.
He further stated that the appointment of these candidates in District Civil Surgeon Offices, Community Health Centres and Primary Health Centres would strengthen administrative operations and improve healthcare delivery at the grassroots level.
