Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 23: Even as the educated unemployed youth are craving for jobs, the Jammu and Kashmir Board for Muslim Specified Waqfs and Specified Wakf Properties has announced openings for retired government officials drawing severe criticism.
The Wakf Board had come up with three job openings and all the three are for the retired officials.
These include the posts of Assistant Executive Engineer, Education Officer and Patwari. But all the three posts the criteria apart from education qualification is that the applicant should be retired official. The Wakf Board is offering salary of Rs 10,000 to 15,000 per month to them. As per the notification issued by the Wakf Board, "The term of appointment/ contract will be for two years terminable from either side on one month's prior notice, extendable on the basis of performance/outcomes of the appointee." "This means the retired officials who already get government pension will be getting additional income whereas the educated youth who are struggling to earn even a penny won't be even able to apply," said some unemployed youth.
"This is injustice with us that in a state where unemployment has reached alarming proportions the Wakf Board is denying the unemployed their share of jobs. There is a dire need to make the Wakf Board accountable," said a unemployed engineer.
The unemployed youth said there was a possibility that the Wakf Board wants to benefit some nears and dears through this employment scheme.
"Is Wakf Board supposed to be a post retirement center for retired Muslim officials. This is injustice and it needs to end," said some unemployed youth.
The said board has been facing criticism on numerous fronts and the employment of retired officials has yet again brought it to focus.
When contacted a senior official said "experienced hands were needed for the job so we opted for the retired officials." |
