SRINAGAR: – A delegation of waiting list candidates aspiring for various Govt jobs today called on the Apni Party leaders here at the Party’s Headquarter in Srinagar.

The delegation met the Party General Secretary, Rafi Ahmed Mir, Chief Spokesperson, Muntazir Mohiuddin, and Waqar H Bhati.

During their meeting with the Party leaders, the delegation presented a memorandum to the Party leaders projecting their demands for amendment in waiting list order by relaxing waiting list rules and considering early resignations from the date of restoration of the waiting list 26 September 2023.

They said that the Govt should ensure that vacant positions resulting from resignations there-of are filled with waiting list candidates next in line. This measure would provide relief and livelihood to qualified candidates who are currently unemployed and meritorious.

“We request an amendment in the waiting list regulations by relaxing waiting list rules and consider early resignations for vacancies caused by resignations in JE, FAA, JKPSI, VLW, Stock Assistant, and other positions,” they told the Apni Party leaders.

They further stated that “This amendment is crucial for optimizing resource utilization and ensuring deserving candidates do not miss out on opportunities due to the current situation.”

They informed that the problem has been compounded by recent recruitment drives for Assistant Engineer (AE) and Junior Engineer (JE) positions, leading many selected JEs to resign in favor of AE roles.

Similarly, many Financial Accounts Assistants (FAA) may resign from Panchayat Secretary and Stock Assistant positions, and new recruits for Jammu and Kashmir Police Sub-Inspectors (JKPSI) are leaving vacancies behind. These resignations, often occurring shortly after joining, reflect candidates’ preference for higher-level posts, the delegation claimed.

After giving them a patient hearing, the Party leaders assured them that their demands would be projected before the concerned authorities.

Prominent among them who were part of the delegation includes Faisal Shah, Tahir Nabi Bhat, Tahir Hussain Naik, and others.
