Daily wagers run apex airport body

After this newspaper reported Narula’s tenure had run out and so his continuation in office was illegal, the Ministry of Civil Aviation put out an office order on September 2, saying that Narula had been appointed to the post of Member Personnel, with effect from August 26! Interestingly, Narula was interviewed by the Public Enterprise Selection Board for this particular job only on September 19, a full seventeen days after the ministry confirmed that he had been appointed to the post. His papers have yet to be processed by the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet .

V.D.V. Prasad Rao, the Member Finance, is also on 90-day extension after his tenure ended in the first week of this month.

K. Ramalingam, who is the Member Planning, is already doubling as Member Operations, as well since no replacement has been found so far for Roby Lal who retired as Member Operations, many months ago. Ramalingam’s tenure also expires at the end of the month.

No interviews have been held for either Rao or Ramalingam’s job as yet. Interviews were held for Roby Lal’s job four months ago, but the vacancy has yet to be filled.
