ANPSTA Wokha appeals to conduct interview at the earliest

Wokha, February 8 (MExN): The All Nagaland Pre-Service Teachers’ Association (ANPSTA), Wokha unit has drawn the attention of the Principal Director and Director of School Education, regarding the abeyance of interview in respect to the advertisement No ED/MISC-4/2015 dated Kohima 23rd January 2015 for the post of Primary Teachers.   In an open letter to the Principal Director and Director, O Grace Tungoe, President, and Zuchobeni Humtsoe, General Secretary said that the advertisement indicated 689 vacancies in eight districts, out of which, the eastern Nagaland applicants had their interview shortly after the advertisement. However, the remaining applicants of Wokha, Dimapur, Kohima and Phek districts were denied the opportunity citing “certain reason best known to them,” the letter stated.

  The unit asked the department concerned why the government is delaying to give appointments to the remaining applicants when it can give appointments to eastern Nagaland candidates. “If you are constrained to conduct interview for fear of paying salary to the appointees why backdoor appointments is in rampant?” it questioned.   The letter further highlighted that their interview has been kept in abeyance since February last year without citing any reason. Stating that ample time has been given, the unit appealed to the authority to do the needful formalities for conducting the interview at the earliest.
