Srinagar, Feb 22: The dropped-out aspirants of Fire & Emergency Services today staged a protest, seeking the report of the committee, which was constituted to look into the alleged bungling in the recruitment which was carried out 2 years ago, to be made public.
Several aggrieved aspirants appeared in the Press Enclave and were seen raising slogans in favour of their demands while urging the authorities to ensure that discrepancies are identified and justice is done the aspirants.
“We appeared in an exam in 2013, then there were reports of corruption and the list was quashed; in 2018, we in the exam and again, the list was quashed because there was corruption; but the exam which we gave in 2020, despite knowing that there were discrepancies, the list was not quashed; because those who were involved in the corrupt practices, were the people from the system,” said Khursheed Ahmad, one of the aspirants.
The aspirants said that they protested for two years and after remaining continuously on the roads for several months, the LG took note of the matter and a committee was formed to brobe the allegations.
“The authorities are playing with our lives; reaching here to protest is not an easy task for us as we have to spend money to reach here. We have families to take care of, but nobody is listening to us,” the aspirants said.
They said that in December 2022, under the directives of LG, the committee was formed which was tasked to submit its report within one month. “But, so far, more than 2 months have passed and the report has not been submitted.”
The aspirants appealed to the authorities, especially LG Manoj Sinha to look into the matter and ensure that the committee submits its report without any further delay.
