JAMMU, Aug 31: The aspirants of Assistant Engineer (Electrical) today urged the Government to defer preliminary examination in view of complete shutdown in the Valley.
A large number of Assistant Engineer (AE) aspirants met here at Press Colony Srinagar and expressed deep anguish and shock over the issuance of notification by Public Service Commission for preliminary examination for Assistant Electric Engineer to be held on October 13.
The engineers urged the Public Service Commission to defer the examination to December 2019 as there has been complete shutdown in the Valley and they have not been able to get any study material from online and off line modes.
“There is no book shop open and even internet services are snapped as a result of which we are placed at a complete disadvantage in comparison to the other parts of the State where there has been easy availability of study material as well as coaching facilities,” they said and appealed Governor Satya Pal Malik and Chairman Public Service Commission to defer the examination to December 2019 so that students can mobilize resources and move to other parts of State to get free and fair opportunity for appearing in the competitive examination.
