JAMMU, Mar 22: Job aspirants, who had applied for various posts in the Fire and Emergency Services (F&ES) Department, today held a protest demonstration here demanding CBI probe into the alleged irregularities in the recruitment.
Hundreds of youth drawn from various parts of Jammu as well as Kashmir region today assembled near Press Club Jammu and raised slogans in support of their demands. They said that recruitment scam in Fire and Emergency Services Department is the biggest scam but the LG administration is not admitting the same despite proofs of irregularities provided to them.
“I am a victim of injustice by the Fire and Emergency Services Department. We applied for the posts in 2012 but it was found that there was a ‘scam’. Then we applied again in 2018 and again a ‘scam’ was found. Last year again another ‘scam’ was found,” one of the protesters said. He said the administration had formed a three-member panel headed by Additional Chief Secretary Home R K Goyal to probe the alleged irregularities in December last year but the report has not come till date.
Other protesters also expressed similar concern and urged upon the concerned authorities to conduct a CBI probe into the recruitment in Fire and Emergency Department. They said the deserving youth are being made to suffer under the present dispensation as in last few years, a number of recruitment scams have come to fore in Jammu and Kashmir. They urged the LG to order CBI probe into alleged irregularities in F&ES recruitment without any delay.
