Sir,
I want to convey to the Governor that we the job aspirants under the PM’s employment package for Kashmiri migrants vide J&K SSB advertisement Notification No.04 of 2017, continue to be in gloom and despair. It is noteworthy to mention here that around 1500 posts were advertised by the recruitment board under this special package for Kashmiri migrants in the last year and the whole recruitment process was expected to be executed under fast-track basis but, ironically, nothing of that sort happened. It is also in place to mention here that these jobs were provided to Kashmiri migrants under SRO-412. However, Government has also extended the benefit of this employment package to the non-migrant Pandits residing in the Kashmir valley as well under SRO-425. But SRO-425 is being challenged in the High Court. The Court directed the authorities not to make any appointments under SRO-425. The fact of the matter is that the candidates under SRO-412 are in large number in comparison to those candidates who have applied under SRO-425. It is sheer injustice to the candidates who have applied under SRO-412 if their selection is halted due to the petition over SRO-425. Therefore, on behalf of SRO-412 candidates, I would like to make a humble appeal to the Governor to look into this matter and direct J&K SSB to release all pending lists without any further delay.
