Activists held agitation in Jammu demanding ‘waiting lists’ back in government services

Several activists of Jammu Joint Students Federation (JJSF) held a agitation against LG administration outside GGM Science college at Jewel in Jammu city demanding waiting list provision back in government recruitment services conducted by JKSSB,JKPSC in the J&K region.

In November last year, a decision was made by the General Administration Department (GAD), aimed at repealing rules that mandated recruiting agencies such as the JKPSC and JKSSB to maintain a wait list alongside the select list.

Earlier, alongside the final list, recruiting agencies would create a wait list to accommodate aspirants for any “drop out” vacancies that may arise during the recruitment process.

The activists demanded that the practice of making waiting lists should continue just like it used to be earlier during recruitments, so that the unemployed youth can get a chance to earn an income.
