WRD, PWD vacancies unfilled for months owing to court case

March 24, 2025

WHILE the state announced 84 vacancies for Executive Engineers (EEs) in the Public Works Department (PWD) and Water Resources Department (WRD) for 2024-25, they have been unable to fill these positions for over five months due to a court's order to maintain status quo regarding the AEEs' promotion.

Assistant Executive Engineers (AEE) fear the delay will affect their seniority and benefits.

According to sources, the issue arose from the division between PWD and WRD. During 1997-1999, the TNPSC conducted exams to fill vacancies, selecting 210 Assistant Engineers (AEs). In 2013-14, they were promoted to AEEs.

Initially, TNPSC assigned seniority ranks based on the communal roster system. However, in 2021, following a Supreme Court order, TNPSC revised these ranks, granting them (seniority) based on examination marks.
