Appointment To State Boards & Coporations In Odisha To Be Finalised Soon: Tomar

Bhubaneswar: Chairpersons and vice-chairpersons to different state-owned corporations and boards in Odisha will be appointed soon, BJP’s state in-charge Vijay Pal Singh Tomar informed on Sunday.

Tomar said BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh will visit Odisha to hold discussions with the party’s core committee before the appointments are finalised. “The political appointments to different PSUs and organisations will be done in consultations with core committee members. The selection process is underway and may take some time, but the announcement will be made shortly,” he added.

Shortly after coming to power, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi relieved all advisors appointed by the previous BJD government. This was followed by removal of all political appointees as chairpersons of different organisations and PSUs.

Earlier this month, the state government had appointed senior BJP leader Shovana Mohanty as the chairperson of Odisha State Commission for Women (OSCW) and Babita Patra as the chairperson of Odisha State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (OSCPCR).

The post of OSCW chairperson was lying vacant for the last 10 months after the BJP government removed Namita Behera, a BJD appointee, from the chair in November last year. Similarly, Mandakini Kar was removed from the post of OSCPCR chairperson along with five members of the commission in March this year.
