| Jobs not for sale in J&K: Cancelation of SI list sends clear message to touts | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 8: After cancelling the list of over 7200 candidates who have cleared written examinations of Police Sub Inspectors (PSIs) following the detection of fraud, the Jammu and Kashmir Government made it clear that jobs are not for sale in the Union Territory.
Speaking on the employment opportunities across the Union Territory, Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, stated that “there was a wrong perception that there were no jobs in J&K”.
“Let me tell you that the J&K government has given the highest number of civilian jobs in its history last year. Jobs are there but they are not in the market for sale,” the Chief Secretary said.
The spokesman of the J&K government said that for the first time in history recruitments have been done on a merit basis, in a transparent manner which is a living example of how a corruption-free, transparent and just system contributes to the progress of the marginalized class and wherever wrongdoings were alleged, an investigation was launched by credible and top law enforcement agencies.
