Overview
- The Delhi government, which notified nine Wildlife Inspector posts Thursday, created eight new positions to boost on-the-ground wildlife work.
- Recruitment rules were revised with the Lieutenant Governor’s approval and published in the Gazette, clearing the way for hiring.
- Eight of the posts will be filled through direct recruitment by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board, the city’s hiring body for departments.
- The roles sit at Level-6 in the 7th Central Pay Commission pay matrix with a salary range of Rs 35,400 to Rs 1,12,400.
- Officials say the move closes a long-running gap after years with only one inspector at headquarters, a shortfall felt during leopard sightings in Jagatpur and recent possible wolf sightings near Palla.
