Imphal, November 20 2009:
Zeliangrong Students' Union Manipur (ZSUM) has expressed shock that many candidates who have not passed the physical test in the recruitment for 300 VDF personnel in Tamenglong were allowed to appear in the viva-voce and were recruited due to political influence and favoritism of the local MLAs.
A statement signed by the public relations secretary of ZSUM, Micah Kamei registered strong protest over the malpractice and discrepancies while appealing the authority concerned to look into the matter seriously.
It urged that the recruitment rules be followed properly.
Appreciating the government's policy of providing employment to unemployed youths of the district, the ZSUM also urged the government to provide more posts of the VDF for the district.
It cautioned that the students' body will not remain a silent spectator to the government's 'unequal treatment' while also warning to launch intense agitation if their demand for providing of more VDF posts is not fulfilled.
