The CCIT (CCA) informed that two cases has already been done and another one case is being approved. The CCIT also informed the representatives that there was no conscious delay on the part of the Administration in approving the compassionate appointments and whatever delay that had occured was due to pressing administrative exigencies The ITEF representatives informed the CCIT that the general perception is on the contrary and the employees of the department believes that the CCIT is reluctant to issue orders in this regard.
