The official sources have stated that the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet has rejected government headhunter PSEB's recommendation for appointment of Gopal Singh as Chairman and Managing Director of NMDC and the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has also directed the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PSEB) to start afresh the selection process for the post.
Meanwhile the official sources have also added that the ACC has not assigned any reason for not accepting the PSEB and subsequent Steel Ministry's recommendation favoring Gopal Singh's name for the NMDC's top post.
The sources have also stated that the ACC has directed the Ministry to initiate the selection process for appointment of NMDC CMD afresh and Gopal Singh has refused to comment on the subject as there was no fresh notification seeking application for NMDC CMD post on the PSEB's website.
An official in the Steel Ministry has alleged that three names were included in the original list of candidates selected for interview at a later stage and sources have also said that the post of Director (Personnel) at NMDC is also vacant for nearly one year and there has been no communiqué from the government.
