Expressing their feelings, some of the candidates said that it was their last chance to get an opportunity for employment and survive during hardships, adding that personal intervention by the Chief Minister, Mufti Mohd Sayeed would help them not to be left in the lurch.
They further said that the interviews for the candidates of Kulgam, Srinagar and Shopian districts were held on March 14, 16 and 17 respectively and they failed to turn up for the same due to heavy rains and snow in the State, adding that the flights were also cancelled leaving no option left for them.
