Imphal, January 29 2024:
The JAC of Manipur Education (S) MTS Written Test Appeared Candidates 2016-18 batch organised a sit-in protest by locking the office of Education (S) Department on Monday demanding declaration of the recruitment results, which has been kept in abeyance for over six years.
According to JAC president S Gambhir, the written test for recruitment of 413 MTS posts in the department was conducted over six years ago but the government is yet to declare the results till date.
While asserting that financial issue could not be a reason for non-declaration of the recruitment results as the government had recruited several posts in different departments since then, the president pointed out that over 90 per cent of the candidates have crossed their upper age limit and are not in a position to apply for other posts.
He further said that family members of the 26,000 candidates will boycott the upcoming Lok Sabha elections if the government does not declare the test result by February 10 .
