Ranchi: Around 2,700 candidates, who recently secured government jobs through recruitment tests in Jharkhand, held a protest, demanding a rollback of the notifications that cancelled 22 exams and ordered a probe into 23 others over alleged irregularities.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, they staged the demonstration outside the state secretariat, saying that they were recruited after clearing the examinations fair and square. The government\u2019s orders came amid a 25-day students\u2019 agitation over alleged irregularities in the recruitment exams.<\/p>\n
\u201cAround 2,700 people, including about 2,000 recruited through the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) examination, held the protest, demanding revocation of the orders,\u201d a demonstrator said. Some of the protesters filed petitions before the Jharkhand High Court challenging the government\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
Maintaining that they were not opposed to an investigation into alleged irregularities, the protesters objected to the cancellation of the entire examination.<\/p>\n
They argued that action should be taken against tainted candidates and not against those selected on merit.<\/p>\n
Chandan Kumar Sahu, who is a food safety officer with the government, said, \u201cNo complaints have, so far, been received about any irregularities in exams for food safety officers. But we are being thrown out. This is not justice. We will continue our protest till justice is meted out to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another candidate, Anima Vibha Minz, said they cleared the examination based on merit. The candidates said several of them had already joined government departments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
