Rising unemployment sounding alarm bells in J&K: Gupta
7/19/2022 10:17:18 PM
Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 19: Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President National Conference, Jammu, while slamming the government for alarming rise in unemployment in Jammu and Kashmir, has demanded fast track recruitment to thousands of posts lying vacant in different departments of J&K Government.
In a statement issued to media here today, the senior National Conference leader while coming down heavily on the Union Government as well as the proxy Government of BJP in J&K for sailing in a directionless governance ship, said that it is an irony of the youth of the state that despite the unemployment problem having assumed huge dimension here, the government has no recruitment policy. He recalled the former Governor of the erstwhile State of J&K, Satya Pal Malik's promise to provide 50000 jobs to the unemployed youth in the State and lamented that nothing of the sort seems to be visible on ground till date.
Accusing the government of befooling the people of J&K especially the youth by making false promises, Rattan Lal Gupta said that if the government too starts befooling the innocent people, then to whom they will approach for justice? He asserted that the conduct of the J&K administration has led to a situation where people have lost trust and faith in the government with no elected representatives to plead their cause.
The senior NC leader alleged that there have been no recruitments during the recent years due to which the unemployment rate that was 7 percent in 2014 during the NC regime has reached alarming figure of 23 percent. Moreover the recruitment scams too have played havoc with the career of the youth.
Asserting that these scams worth hundreds of crores are taking place right under the nose of Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, he said there is nobody to listen to the genuine cries of the deserving youth with the Border Battalion recruitment 2019 issue still hanging in limbo.
Rattan Lal Gupta said that Home Minister Amit Shah three years ago spoke in the Parliament about bringing industrialization to Jammu and Kashmir with an aim to ensure that no youth is left unemployed but no progress was made in this direction and instead the locals have been deprived of employment even in local hydro electric projects of J&K.
Claiming that thousands of posts are lying vacant in several departments of J&K Government, the senior NC leader demanded fast track recruitment so that youth of Jammu and Kashmir would heave a sigh of relief. He reiterated that it is the duty of the government to ensure jobs to youth of this sensitive Jammu and Kashmir.
