JAMMU, Sept 12: Resenting the Police decision of extending running track for recruitment of Sub-Inspectors in Jammu district, the National Panthers Students Union has threatened to gherao Director General of Police.
While addressing a press conference, here today, the NPSU president Virender Singh alleged a conspiracy against Jammu youth by extending running track for PET in recruitment for the posts of Sub Inspector. “Why all of sudden a decision has been taken to extend the running track thus making the selection process more difficult for youth of Jammu, who are already facing unemployment?” he asked.
While elaborating, the NPSU leader said that for whole of Jammu and Kashmir, the running track (PET) is 1600 mtr and the time for covering the distance is 6.30 minutes. “But astonishingly one day prior to the recruitment in Jammu district, the administration extended the running track to more than 1600 mtr with the same stipulated time and this decision is going to make situation difficult for the youth of Jammu to qualify Physical Endurance Test (PET),” he explained.
Maintaining that NPSU would not allow this discrimination with Jammu youth, Singh warned to gherao DGP if the J&K Police does not make necessary rectification in the selection procedure. He also urged all the political and non political organization of Jammu to join hands and fight against the discriminatory behavior of JKP Police towards Jammu youth.
Others, who were present in press conference, included Lovely Singh, Rishi Badyal, Chetan Sharma, Advesh Shamra and Sushant Singh Chib.
