JAMMU, Feb 2 : In support of their demands of releasing final selection list, the interviews for which were held in 2010, the Jail Warden aspirants continued to stage protest demonstration.
Protesters on the occasion raised slogans against the concerned authorities demanding immediate release of final selection list and sought the attention of the Governor N N Vohra for early conceding of their long pending demand.
They said that they had been striving for the release of final list for the last four years but unfortunately, the concerned authorities were paying deaf ear towards their genuine demand. The protestors alleged that-their repeated requests to Government and concerned officers of the department remain unheard, while a number of candidates were nearing getting over-aged.
They said despite the fact that no recruitment has taken place in the Prison Department since 1995 and the department is facing acute shortage of manpower with 2000 vacancies, the successive State Government was adopting delaying tactics in releasing the final selection list, candidates claimed.
"About 41182 unemployed youth had applied for the post of Jail Wardens in 2005 and 1247 candidates were shortlisted for the interview, which was held September 2010," they said, adding.
"Even after more than three years since the conduct of interviews, the selection list is still awaited, and most of them are getting over-aged. |
