ASO appointment may be delayed for PwD vacancy issues

As per OPSC recommendation for recruitment of 500 ASOs, there are only 13 candidates in the final list whereas there are 20 vacancies in the advertisement.
In this regard, SSEPD Department sought for clarification from OPSC vide letter no. 5292 Dt. 17.06.2019. As per this department, 7(seven) vacancies should have been forwarded to next year vacancy in case no suitable candidates available under PwD category.
But as Government have not issued appointment letter yet, OPSC has requested SSEPD Department vide its letter no.4236 Dt. 25.06.2019 to move Government in GA&PG Department to issue Resolution in this matter to carry forward these vacancies (arise out of non availability of suitable candidates) to next year. 
Extract from OPSC letter.... 
"Since reservation in respect of PwD persons are Horizontal vacancies, it is not possible in part of the commission keep vacancy in the any category of SC/ST/SEBC/UR, which is vertical for recruitment in the post of ASO pursuant to Advertisement No. 10 of 2018-19. If SSEPD Department so desire necessary steps may be taken to move to Government in GA& PG department for issue of necessary resolution regarding which category post (SC/ST/SEBC/UR) vacancies will be kept vacant if suitable PwD candidates not available against the vacancies reserved for them in a recruitment year."
So all recommended candidates have to wait for Govt. decision in this matter.
