Jammu, Jan 22 : The All Jammu and Kashmir Displaced Youth Forum (AJKDYF) today sought the intervention of Governor N N Vohra for release of the names of Kashmiri Pandit youths who have been selected for employment under the Prime Minister's special package.
"We urge the Governor to intervene and get the pending list of the community members who have been selected for appointment under the Prime Minister’s employment package released at the earliest," AJKDYF chairman Sanjay Koul told reporters here. The list has been pending for more than six years, Koul said, adding that a large number of Kashmiri Pandit youths have crossed the age limit for employment while waiting for the list to come out.
"The delay in releasing the list has caused more harm for the community.
There are some self-styled leaders who have delayed the release of the list because of their vested interests," he said.
Koul said that in 2010, 3,000 posts in various departments were announced but only 1,440 were filled whereas the appointment on 1,560 posts remained pending.
"We request the Governor who is heading the state administration to look into the issue and help redress the problems being faced by the youth of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community who have been suffering due to the undue delay in the release of the list," he said. |
