NSF flays reducing age bar for Administrative Service exam

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Jan 13: National Secular Forum(NSF) has criticized the J&K Government for squeezing the employment chances of young educated youth by curtailing age bar for the Administrative Services.
Addressing a press conference, here today, NSF president Dr Vikas Sharma, expressed his anguish over the age bar in the recently advertised JKAS posts by JKPSC. “The BJP Government under the rule of Lt Governor is playing with the career of educated youth. On the one hand there is no set system of making advertisements annually by JK Public Service Commission and on the other hand, the educated aspirants get overage due to negligence of PSC putting the youth in a precarious predicament,” he said.
“Rising graph of unemployment and now age bar imposition for Civil Services candidates have added fuel to fire irking the youth to take some drastic step for some undesirable negativity and agitation,” Dr Vikas lamented and appealed the LG Administration to restore the earlier age bar for appearing in UT Civil Services exam.
