JAMMU, Dec 27: Candidates from Jammu are suffering from the decision of the Ellaquai Dehati Bank (EDB) which has issued a notice in the newspaper regarding the recruitment of the clerk cum cashier (Office Assistant) in the Srinagar region.
EDB has directed the Jammu candidates for the posts of clerk cum cashier to attend the pre-examination training (P-ET) session in the head office of the bank situated in Srinagar. There are many candidates from the Jammu region who have filled the application forms but due to the training session being held at Srinagar are suffering.

The exam to be conducted by the ED bank is for the people of backward classes including Scheduled caste (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Minority Community and Ex- serviceman (EXS) status. Whereas many applicants are against this decision of the bank as most of SC, ST, EXS and minority candidates are residing in the Jammu city.
The candidates are complaining that most of the candidates are in the city then why the bank authorities are having the training in Srinagar besides fact about the volatile conditions and bitter cold prevailing in the valley.
Candidates also said that in this bitter cold they are enable to attend the training session as they have to visit there much before the time.
The candidates added that no TA\DA, accommodation and other facilities are being provided to the aspirants which make it difficult for the female candidates to attend the pre-examination training in Srinagar.
They also demanded that the pre- examination training of the Jammu candidates should take place in the city whereas the Kashmir candidates can have their training session in Srinagar.
Sources disclosed that the EDB is well known about the fact that the Jammuites will find it hard to attend the training and hence the posts will be filled by the Srinagar candidates alone whereas all the government offices including the Secretariat is shifted in the winter capital.
All J&K SC and ST Retired Employees Forum complained through a written letter to the Chairman of EDB for changing the venue of the training from Srinagar to Jammu.
