In a major decision taken by the Assam Cabinet at its meeting on Wednesday, the government has decided not to engage any private agencies in any government recruitment process. The Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal decided that all government departments would hold the exams or conduct recruitment through State or Central Universities. The decision comes in the backdrop of the recent job scam in Assam Police that has left the government facing a lot of flak from the Opposition and resulted in a loss of face ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections next year.
