Govt job aspirants to protest against exam results delay

Ranchi: Over 4,000 youths who have been awaiting the publication of their results since 2017 after their selection for non-gazetted posts, including panchayat secretary, clerks at district headquarters, treasuries as well as food and civil supplies department and stenographer, have planned to make a human chain in front of state secretariat on Thursday.
The move has been planned in order to request the state government to allow publication of their results which have remained pending since 2017. The job aspirants have also met all the ministers from the state government and they have assured them they will be raising the matter at the cabinet meeting scheduled on Thursday.
Ghulam Hussain, a panchayat secretary aspirant, said: “Our appointments have been hanging in balance after the state government decided to conduct a re-examination on over 4,000 posts for which candidates were selected and the merit list was also prepared. We are requesting the government to reconsider their decision.” On being asked if the ministers have assured them that they will raise their matter in the cabinet, why are they going for a human chain, Hussain added that they just want the leaders to remember.
Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) had conducted written examination to fill 4,948 posts across state government offices on January 21, 28 and February 4 in 2018. The vacancy included over 3,000 posts of panchayat secretary, while the rest were of clerks and stenographer at various government offices.
One of the successful candidates, Rahul Mehra from Palamu, said it was for the first time that 98% accuracy in typing was the cut-off and we cleared that too. Even after that the result is pending.
