Kangpokpi, September 05 2024: Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO) general headquarters has appealed to Staff Selection Commission (SSC) chairman Rakesh Ranjan to reconsider the decision of cancelling the SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Tier-1 examination centres in Churachandpur and Ukhrul districts.

In a letter addressed to the SSC chairman, KSO stated that the abrupt cancellation of the centres has caused serious inconvenience to candidates from these regions who have been preparing for the examination.

The decision has forced candidates to travel long distances to alternative centres, entailing logistical and financial hardships, especially given the poor road conditions from Churachandpur to Mizoram (Aizawl), the letter said.

Moreover, KSO highlighted that due to the buffer zones between Imphal valley and Churachandpur, Kuki candidates are unable to travel to Imphal for the examination, further complicating their situation.

Despite full assurance by the Churachandpur deputy commissioner regarding security measures, the centres remain cancelled.

As such, KSO called for urgent intervention by the SSC to review and reinstate the examination centres in Churachandpur and Ukhrul to ease burden of the aspirants and ensure a smooth examination process for all candidates in these regions.

The student body also appealed to the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) chief executive officer and managing director to intervene in the matter and address the recent cancellation of SSC CGL examination centres in Churachandpur and Ukhrul districts.

Acknowledging the company's significant role in enhancing employment opportunities across India, including in Manipur, KSO, however, raised concerns over the abrupt decision by the SSC authorities to cancel the examination centres, scheduled to operate from September 8 onwards.
