| Another joke with youth; Govt promises to conduct fast-track recruitment of withdrawn posts | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 6: Amid raging controversy over the decision of the Jammu and Kashmir government to withdraw all posts advertised before October 31, 2019, authorities on Sunday assured that these vacancies shall be referred for fast-track recruitment.
Authorities have made these promises only to defend its decision, dubbed as “inhuman and unconstitutional” by BJP and other political parties.
On the one hand, the government claimed to complete recruitment of withdrawn posts on fast-track but on the other hand, the recruitment process of posts referred to SSB in the year 2020 with much publicity is yet to be completed.
The Jammu Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB) had released an online notification related to 8575 vacancies that have to be filled for class IV posts in the year 2020. Even after the passing of many months, the process is yet to be completed.
The same is the story of the posts of Junior Assistant, Junior Scale Stenographer, Bee Keeper/Field Assistant, Election Assistant, Junior Statistical Assistant Junior Engineer, Junior Engineer (Civil), Junior Engineer (Mechanical) 30, Accounts Assistant, Drivers, Labour Officer, Sub-Inspector in Finance Department, Inspector in Finance Department, Labour Inspector, Motor Vehicle Inspectors, Sub Motor and Vehicle Inspector.
All these posts were advertised in the year 2020 but appointments in these posts are yet to be made.
Authorities are claiming that some posts advertised before October 31, 2019 could not have been advertised, as they were against recruitment rules. Therefore, selection against these posts could not have been made. Withdrawing these posts was essential to ensure that they can be filled up as per rules in vogue, opening opportunities for youth of J&K.
Delay in finalizing recruitment of posts advertised in the year 2020 is questionable because these posts were referred after October 31, 2019.
“All the vacancies recalled by a recent decision of the Administrative Council shall be referred again to recruitment agencies for fast track recruitment as per the new domicile, reservation and recruitment rules providing equal opportunity to all”, official spokesman of J&K government said, adding “a free, fair and merit-based selection shall be quickly ensured.
It is also clarified that withdrawal of posts referred to the Public Service Commission and Service Selection Board (SSB) before 31.10.2019 has only been done for posts where selections have not been made and results have not been declared.
As reported earlier, Jammu & Kashmir Government has withdrawn all the vacancies referred to the Public Service Commission and Services Selection Board before October 31, 2019, for which selections have not been finalized till date.
The General Administration Department has informed the PSC and SSB that the Administrative Council has decided to withdraw all the posts referred to PSC and SSB prior to 31- 10- 2019 for which selections have not been made till date.
All political parties have opposed this decision of the J&K administration and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to reconsider the same.
Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said that there is no direction from DoPT to the UT Government in this regard. He said the only directives given by the DoPT were the abolition of interviews and selection of candidates based on merit secured by them in written tests. The Minister said only UT Government could respond to it.
“We ask the Lt Governor to immediately revoke the order, as it is not going to benefit anybody,’’ J&K BJP spokesman Abhinav Sharma said and termed the decision as “inhuman” and “unconstitutional”.
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association has threatened to launch an agitation across the Union Territory unless the administration withdraws the order.
Describing the UT administration’s style of functioning as “anti-youth, anti-people, anti-Jammu, and anti-farmers”, Bar Association president M K Bhardwaj said, “UT administration has withdrawn the vacancies already referred to PSC and SSB despite the fact that unemployment is increasing day by day in the UT.” |
