As Doordarshan goes into the high-definition mode for the CWG, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said no new recruitments will be made in the national network for the event.
Admitting that there are large number of vacancies in DD, Soni said the recruitment board has been constituted by the government to fill up the vacancies.
"There are 5,097 vacancies but they are not for the Commonwealth Games, Doordarshan did not feel the need for recruit for the Games," Soni said replying to the supplementaries in the Rajya Sabha on Monday.
