After meeting a delegation of the Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP), Mondal said, “As of now we are having a lot of financial problem and this entire thing and due to that we are not going ahead immediately but recently we had advertised some post also. Regular appointments will be done as and when MeECL is financially sound, that has been apprised by them (FKJGP).”

He admitted that the vacant posts have been there for a very long time due to many reasons and factors.

The minister however said that “the government frequently is reviewing not only MeECL but other departments also to see that employment opportunities are given to our youths. We are working on that line.”

Highlighting the number of vacancies in the corporation, Mondal said, “As of now we had advertised for field engineer for electrical and mechanical is 57 and field engineer for civil 10, field supervisors for electrical and mechanical is 54 and field supervisors for Civil is 10, so total  67 for engineers and 64 for supervisors.”
