Govt allows PPSC to hold interviews
Punjab government has allowed the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) to conduct interviews of candidates. Primary & Secondary Healthcare Department Secretary Muhammad Usman issued the notification after the approval of the Punjab Cabinet Committee on Saturday. He said, “Now, the PPSC can conduct interviews of the candidates in phases after implementing the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) devised by the health department. However, procedure of written examination would remain suspended.” According to the notification, the approval for interviews was given only to the PPSC while other departments had not been allowed in this regard. It is pertinent to mention that the government had, earlier, stopped the PPSC to conduct interviews of the candidates who had passed the written examination due to lockdown.
