Imphal, May 13 2017:
Certain quarters have raised strong suspicion whether anomalies were committed in the pro-cess of recruitment to some posts in Manipur Fire Service.
Notably, the State Government is unable to declare results of the particular recruitment process.
Due process was initiated last year for recruitment of 148 staff to different posts in Manipur Fire Service.
Although written test was held, viva voce has not been held for all districts except Thoubal district till date.
As per rules, five candidates should be selected for each post but it was found that 10 candidates were selected for each post, sources informed.
Due to selection of 10 candidates against each post, the results of the recruitment process have not been declared and the Home Department has taken possession of all the related documents.
However., the Government is yet to take any decision on the matter.
The posts notified for recruitment are four Sub- Officers, 10 Leading Firemen, 39 drivers, 85 Firemen, one Fitter, two Mechanics and seven Sweepers.
