Employment
for unemployeds
Sir,
The State
Jammu and Kashmir is facing manifold
problems. Though the flames of
unfavourable circumstances have engulfed
everyone, the unemployeds are the worst
victims. The unemployment has perplexed
them and shattered their hopes. They
believed that Mufti’s regime would
take sympathetic steps to avoid their
embarrassment. But it seems that like
past, it is also an era of shattered
hopes and broken promises.
Anyhow,
the hopes of unemployeds revived when the
Prime Minister, during his visit to
Kashmir announced a package for one Lakh
job opportunities in the State. Will the
promise be fulfilled, it is premature to
say something with confidence?
However,
come what may, the deprived unemployeds
whose career has been at stake are not
hopeful for justice. The slogan of merit
which has proved so-called cause of their
deprivation, is being heard once more.
Here a
question arises, should the merit be
ignored. No, never! But provided that
merit alone or relaxation in age cannot
provide justice now. Keeping in view the
past injustice there are many other
points which must be taken into
consideration.
Those
helpless candidates who had no access to
past political leaders and bureaucrats,
were deprived of their rights only in the
name of merit which was a glaring
injustice with them. The candidates who
did their graduation or P.G. Six or seven
years ago with first division, as per
merit of that time they were absolutely
rightful to get Government job.
But it is
pity that ruthless and selfish
politicians and bureaucrates marred the
career of these helpless in order to
employ their own kith and kins. Though
the oppressed wailed on injustice, yet
there was name to listen their wail.
Now when
the present merit is comparatively higher
than the past, six or seven years old
graduate are compared with present merit,
they can never be able to compete with
it. The poor will be dropped even in
short listing criteria. So, they are
likely to be deprived of their rights
once more. It is worthy of consideration
that they are going to be overage. In
such circumstance what will they do?
Where will they go? Who will be their to
listen their wall? If their problem is
attended to at this time, it will add to
their woes. So, it is dire need of the
hour to give rights to those who have
been deprived of their rights.
Yours etc.

Drive against
eve-teasers
Sir,
The drive
launched by police against eve teasers is
a welcome, but belated step. This step
should have been taken much earlier. Due
to slackness on the part of law enforcing
agencies, this social evil has assumed
alarming proportions. Eve teasers are
ubiquitous at almost every place, like
colleges, bus stands, in buses, street.
The drive
launched would hopefully, help in
checking this menace to some extent.
Those found guilty should be punishes so
that others may learn a lesson.
It is an
admitted fact that no social changes take
place unless mindset changes. Once you
are mentally prepared not to do
something, you will not do. Otherwise,
however, one may be advised, admonished,
he will do what he likes.
Though
punishment acts as a detterance, it has
to be carried out in a manner, so that it
changes mental make up of the man.
