Interviews for the posts of District Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Board chairman and members are scheduled to commence from October 22. These appointments are being made after a long wait of four and a half years.

There is high demand for these positions. Some candidates selected for interviews have approached public representatives from the ruling party.

These public representatives are exerting pressure on senior officials of the concerned department. Since the interview dates were finalized, candidates have been frequenting the Secretariat and the Director's office of the Women and Child Welfare Department.

Candidates are eager to secure these posts. The transparency of the appointment process is a key point of interest.
