   2. However, references are being received from various Cadre units for continuance of ad-hoc appointment of LDC’s in Stenographer Grade-D of CSSS. Since there is no provision in the CSSS Rules, 2010 for any LDC/ UDC to be eligible for the post of Stenographer Grade-D, all the Cadre Units are requested to immediately revert all the ad-hoc Stenographers Grade ‘D’ to their substantive posts. A copy of their reversion order may also be endorsed to this Department.
