Job aspirants stage protest

The aspirants who appeared in exams for drivers’ posts in
Fire and Emergency Services department on Thurs-
day staged a protest at Press Enclave here over delay in
selection process.

The aspirants requested the Lieutenant Governor to
direct for speeding up the verification process of the
candidates who have been selected for the posts.

“The department advertised the posts in 2013. So
far, they have conducted the exams on three occasions for
the same posts.

The results were finally declared on October 3 but we were shocked to
find that most of the qualified aspirants have not been selected,” said an aspirant.

“We have evidence of some candidates who have been
selected in the final list but do not possess the required
eligibility as per the notifica tion,” he said.

The aspirants requested the Lieutenant Governor
to look into the matter and order a probe to provide jus-
tice to the deserving candidates. “We have decided to
go on a hunger strike from Monday if the authorities
fail to do justice with us,” they said.
