Kohima, January 7 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) on Thursday expressed its disapproval at the office of Chief Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) Government of Nagaland, issuing a press release for conducting the departmental exam for recruitment to various Group C posts on January 13.
The Federation reiterated its stand for a ‘complete ban of all departmental examinations for recruitment to Group C post until Nagaland Staff Selection Board (NSSB) is implemented in the state and that all existing vacancies must be requisitioned through NSSB only’.
The Federation appealed to the PHED to respect the aspirations of the youths and students’ community and refrain from going ahead with the proposed departmental examination.
It also cautioned that it would be compelled to take up actions it deems fit if the concerned department and all other departments take up any action in contravention of the public appeal.
Further, the NSF appealed to all the aspiring candidates to cooperate with it and abstain from the proposed departmental examination.
The NSF appealed to the State Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and his cabinet to fast track the process of implementing NSSB in the state.
Stating that withholding the NSSB would prove detrimental to the state, the NSF stressed that an amicable solution to the issue of ‘reservation and reservation policies’ which has been stalling the NSSB must be brought out at the earliest.
