JAMMU, Feb 9: Jammu Joint Student Federation has threatened mass agitation if the recruiting agencies in Jammu and Kashmir do not revive the practice of issuing waiting list in recruitments.
A warning in this regard was issued during an emergent meeting of JJSF under the chairmanship of Keshav Malhotra, District Jammu President, at GGM Science College Jammu.
The meeting was attended by JJSF units of GGM Science College Jammu and SPMR College for discussing the consequences of repealing the rules mandating recruiting agencies to draw a waiting list for filling dropout vacancies for each job test. The meeting unanimously decided to launch a province level agitation to revive waiting list provision in recruitment.
While addressing the gathering, Keshav Malhotra raised a question mark on intentions of the J&K Government behind abrogating waiting list provision of recruitment rules. He alleged that due to incompetent officials of recruitment boards and derailed recruitment process since 2021, youth of the Union Territory were suffering.
“Many meritorious candidates get selected for multiple posts as most of the recruitments are concluding at the same time. The direct impact of this decision of removing the waiting list has caused damage to the future of many aspirants. By this order the Government has also violated the fundamental right of equality in public employment as waiting list provision is available in all other States and even in various recruitment bodies of the Government of India,” he explained and reiterated that waiting list provision should be reinstated as soon as possible so that aspirants of JKPSI, VLW, Finance Account Assistant, Junior engineer and others could have their right.
Raghav Singh JJSF President SPMR College of Commerce also spoke on the occasion. The meeting was attended by Bharat Verma- JJSF President GGM Science College, Ritik Verma, Vishal Dogra, Vansh Johal, Samaksh Sharma, Gourav Sharma, Vipan Malhotra and others.
