JAIPUR: Around 3,000 unemployed youths, under the banner - Rajasthan Berozgar Ekikrit Mahasangh - held a demonstration at Jaipur’s Bais Godam demanding fulfilment of pending issues pertaining to recruitment, hiring on vacant posts in all departments, abolishing quota for outsiders and others.
They also demanded legal action against those involved in leaking of question papers of various recruitment examinations.
A 10-member delegation, led by Upen Yadav, later met special secretary to the chief minister Arti Dogra and joint secretary Lalit Kumar to discuss the pending issues. “The officials assured us of clearing some pending recruitments and announcing a few recruitments this month.
They also assured us of a meeting with the chief minister (Ashok Gehlot) soon. They further said strict action will be taken against those involved in leaking question papers and producing fake degrees,” said Rajasthan Berozgar Ekikrit Mahasangh president Yadav.
Yadav accused the officials of negligence and delay in clearance of recruitments that are pending in the state and release of advertisements for fresh recruitments. “In view of the Covid guidelines and having faith in the chief minister that he will fulfill our demands, we are calling off our dharna today (Friday),” he said.
In the last cabinet sub-committee meeting, the chairman of the panel B D Kalla had promised to submit a final report to the chief minister based on the demands of the unemployed youths.
