A delegation of unemployed association meets CM at his residence
The chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has ordered the Uttarakhand police to allow the unemployed arrested under different sections after the violence in Dehradun on Thursday to appear in the Patwari recruitment examination scheduled on Sunday. The CM directed the director general of police to make arrangements for transporting such candidates to the examination centres and back from there.
The CM gave this order on the request of the representatives of the Berozgar Sangh and the applicants of the PCS mains examination candidates’ federation who met him at his residence on Saturday.
Dhami told the unemployed that the anti-copying ordinance has been enforced in the State and efforts are being made to expedite the process of recruitment examinations. He said that in order to provide more opportunities of employment more recruitment advertisements would be released to fill the various vacant posts. The CM said that the calendar of the upcoming examinations has been released. He told the delegation that a provision of stringent punishment has been made in the anti-copying law and appealed to the unemployed that they should get themselves engaged to prepare for the examinations. The representatives of the unemployed expressed gratitude to chief minister Dhami for promulgation of a strict anti-copying ordinance. They also appreciated the initiative of preparing a calendar of recruitment examinations.
The additional chief secretary Radha Raturi, director general of police Ashok Kumar, secretaries R Meenakshi Sundaram, Shailesh Bagauli, the representatives of Berozgar Sangh Khajan Singh Rana and others were present on the occasion.
UBS denies its representatives met CM
Denouncing those who had met the chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami at his residence on Saturday as representatives of the unemployed, the Uttarakhand Berozgar Sangh (UBS) has claimed that it has not sent any delegation to meet the CM. The official page of the UBS, the organisation spearheading the agitation of the unemployed, said that only a delegation led by its leader Bobby Panwar would meet the CM. It claimed that UBS is at present engaged in securing bail for its leaders and some of its representatives are camping at the martyrs memorial.
