* Bukhari seeks HM’s intervention
Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, May 23: While appreciating the move of the J&K Govt to go for accelerated recruitment process, Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) president Syed Mohd Altaf Bukhari today suggested that the Government must accept PRCs and migrants cards as Domicile certificates for these posts going to be filled up shortly.
In a press statement here today, Bukhari demanded that the Government should not insist the job aspirants to produce Domicile certificates during the selection process and instead accept their Permanent Resident Certificates as a bonafide residential proof in view of constant engagement of Revenue officials who are working as the front line department to deal with the COVID-19 crisis.
Bukhari observed that lakhs of unemployed youth of J&K were craving for an opportunity to apply for the Government jobs but the condition of domiciliary status put forth by the Government has created huge disappointment among the job aspiring youth.
“I welcome and congratulate the Lt Governor GC Murmu and the entire Accelerated Recruitment Committee for exploring the possibilities and coming up with around 10000 posts in a record time for recruitment of qualified unemployed youth of J&K. However, 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,” the JKAP president remarked.
He said the entire Revenue Department including Patwaris, Naib Tehsildars and Tehsildars are round the clock engaged with tracing and management of administrative quarantine for travelers and other COVID infected persons in all districts of J&K UT. “How come these officials will be able to process and issue Domicile certificates to the job aspiring youth in such a short span of time while being busy in their COVID duties?” Bukhari observed, while appealing the Union Home Minister Amit Shah to intervene into the matter and issue the relevant orders accordingly.
JKAP president advocated that the Permanent Resident Certificates (PRCs) which are readily available with the residents of J&K and migrant cards for the migrant youth be considered for applying for both professional as well as Class-III and Class-IV jobs till the prevailing crisis over Coronavirus disease subsides to some extent.
“All Government recruitment agencies including PSC, SSB and BOPEE should accept the PRCs and migrant cards as bonafide residential proofs instead of Domicile certificates which can be submitted to the respective departments at a later stage,” Bukhari remarked.
