Dimapur, February 18 (MExN): The Chakhroma Youth Organization (CYO) today slammed the Home Department on “random backdoor appointments in bulk” in the Police Department.
“This kind of malpractices scars the hopes and aspiration of many unemployed Naga youth,” the CYO held in a press release.
As per the advertisement letter dated August 3, 2019, “208 vacant posts were published and 225 candidates were declared qualified including the candidates in the waiting list.”
The press release appended by its President, Seyieneilhou Keyho and General Secretary, Noseho Peter questioned how nearly 1200 appointments were made to undergo training. “Is there any opportunity for the thousands of qualified youth?”
“The Union is deeply angst and angered with the process of recruiting police personnel who are supposed to be the guardians of the rights of the citizens. How will people with questionable appointments or person appointed through unfair means protect the rights of its citizens or carry out their duties fairly.”
The CYO asked the Home Department “to come out clean, owning up its prejudices and making corrective measures at the earliest.”
While acknowledging the Chief Minister for “promptly initiating an enquiry committee to be set up,” it also cautioned the Government of the day to take steps in curbing unfair means in appointments being made in any departments too, to facilitate a fair chance to all the youth.
Reiterating its stand against the illegal appointment of more than 900 police recruits, the Union acknowledged and extended support to the NTUCT “for bringing to light and voicing out against the unfair means in recruitment.”
It will not be a silent spectator if the Government doesn't look into the matter, CYO added.
