SURANKOTE, May 15: INDI Alliance has committed to usher a new era of employment in Government sector if voted to power by the people of the nation in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.
This was stated by Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial president J&K National Conference Jammu while intensifying election campaign in support of India Alliance candidate Mian Altaf Ahmed in Surankote area of district Poonch today.

He underscored the Alliance’s promise to fill 30 lakh government vacancies, a vital step towards empowering young Indians and revitalizing the nation’s workforce.
Rattan Lal drew attention to the alarming number of vacant positions across various Government departments with nearly 9,64,000 posts lying vacant in 78 Government departments. “If we consider the data presented by the Central government in Parliament, then 9,64,000 posts are vacant in 78 departments. If we look at important departments only, 2.93 lakh posts are vacant in the Railways, 1.43 lakh in the Home Ministry and 2.64 lakh in the Defence Ministry,” he added.
Gupta emphasized the urgent need for action to address this issue. He expressed concern over the failure of the current administration to fill up these vacancies, emphasizing the impact on the aspirations and livelihoods of millions of young Indians. He asserted that unemployment is at peak in Jammu and Kashmir and the youth of this UT have become the worst victims of the multiple recruitment scams under the incumbent administration. Even the daily wagers are the worst victims of the incompetence of the J&K Govt.
Dr Mumtaz Bukhari and Mumtaz Bajjard urged the people to strengthen NC and Dr. Farooq Abdullah by supporting party NC candidate Mian Altaf Ahmed from Anantnag- Rajouri Parliamentary Constituency in the progressing Lok Sabha polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
