‘Make JK Bank’s recruitment fair’
Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, June 3: Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) senior leader and former minister Mohammad Dilawar Mir today appreciated the fresh recruitment drive started by JK Bank but pressed for making this exercise more fairer by according extra weightage to the candidates who had previously appeared in the same selection process which was unjustifiably quashed by the present dispensation.
Mir also urged the bank management not to insist the job aspirants for Domicile Certificates and instead accept their Permanent Resident Certificates (PRCs) as bonafide residential proofs during the fresh selection process.
In a statement issued here, Mir observed that the aspiring candidates cannot be asked for Domicile Certificates as they are in possession of PRC’s which have been issued by the competent authorities from time to time as genuine residential proofs.
The JKAP leader also remarked that the terms and conditions of the recruitment exercise need to be re-considered leniently in light of the crippling situation created by the COVID-19 for the job aspirants of J&K.
“While it is appreciable that the bank has invited applications for the recruitment against over 1800 vacancies of Probationary Officers and Banking Associates, it is expected from the Bank management to make this process more just and reasonable by providing extra weightage to the candidates who had previously appeared for the same recruitment which was later on declared null and void by the Government,” the JKAP leader demanded.
Mir also advised that the PRCs which are readily available with the residents of J&K and Migrant Cards for the migrant youth should be considered as bonafide residential proof for applying for all types of posts advertised by the Government or the JK Bank.
He hoped that the fresh recruitment in the bank would be based on rationalization and district wise requirements of its business units. “Just allowing applicants who had appeared in the recently cancelled recruitment process for the fresh recruitment is not enough. The Govt must compensate these candidates who lost two precious years just waiting for results,” he pleaded.
