Dimapur, Dec. 2 (EMN): Public Service Aspirants of Nagaland (PSAN) has appealed the government to revoke the October 26 Office Memorandum (OM) and revert the selection process of Class III posts under the purview of Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC). It also reaffirmed on its demand and decided to use every democratic right till justice is served.
PSAN media cell stated that the government’s inability to revoke the October 26 OM has come a big blow to the educated and unemployed youth. With more than 70,000 educated and unemployed youth vying for an opportunity to get into the system through free, fair and open means, PSAN stated that the decision of the government to scrap Class-III posts from the purview of NPSC has demoralised thousands and has even succeeded in creating a negative image of the present government.
In addition, PSAN has urged the government to set up a State Selection Board in line with the centre’s Staff Selection Commission for recruitment to the posts with a Grade Pay of less than 2800 in order to inculcate in the youth a spirit of competition and also to select the best among thousands to serve the state with efficiency and sincerity.
PSAN has reaffirmed on its demand and decided to use every democratic right to ensure deliverance of justice so that no force would hamper the growth of Nagaland and its youth. It cautioned that the government would solely be held responsible if any untoward incident occurs as a result of PSAN’s stand for justice.
Meanwhile, PSAN has welcomed the cabinet decision taken on November 28 to revamp the NPSC and its system of examination, adding the decisiveness and sensitivity towards the plight of its people has raised a ray of hope for a more people-centric government.
NPSC, being the highest recruiting body of the state, PSAN pointed out that it should maintain the highest level of transparency and fairness. PSAN hoped that the new directives issued to NPSC would be followed in letter and in spirit.
