whispers in the corridors
Row over lateral entries
Certain government and bureaucratic segments recently got upset after the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) advertised for lateral recruitment for multiple senior roles in a Central Ministry. Two days later, the advertisement was withdrawn. This episode bore the attention of many and talks about the pros and cons of lateral entries became a huge topic of discussion.
Whispers In The Corridors spoke to some stalwarts – Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, a lateral entry himself, and Dr Shashi Tharoor, a parliamentarian on the issue. However, some shied away from speaking on the subject.
