JAMMU, Aug 27: A score of youth who have completed courses of medical assistants and pharmacists today staged a protest in Jammu demanding issuance of registration and license of pharmacist and medical assistant.
Speaking on the occasion, the protesting youth said that they had already completed their training courses well before the abrogation of Article 370 but despite that they were being denied registration as well as licenses of pharmacists and medical assistants.
They said that about future of 20 to 25 thousand youth are hanging in balance as despite completion of their courses, they are being denied registration and licenses under the garb of Central Act of Pharmacy 1948 while they had completed their courses before reorganization of the state into two UTs.
“We are suffering due to the anti-youth policy of the BJP Government in the Centre. The mental agony of remaining jobless even after completion of professional courses is unbearable,” they said and urged upon the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, in a memorandum addressed to him, to get the issue duly examined and take appropriate action to fulfill their demand.
