The Khun Hynñiewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) today staged a sit-in protest to pressurise the government to do away with personal interviews in group B, C, and D government posts in line with the Central Government and 23 other states in the country.
The sit-in-protest, which was held at Malki ground, started from 10 am and concluded at 5 pm.
It may be mentioned that this is the second sit-in-protest of the party on this same issue. The first was in February this year.
The party has been constantly raising the demand but till date it is still far from settlement.
KHNAM working president Thomas Passah said that the party had taken up the matter since the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA-I) government and even the present government is keeping quiet on the matter.
“We have also submitted several representations to the state government to impress on the need to do away with the personal interview for the above category so as to bring complete transparency in the recruitment process,” he told reporters.
Passah said the government is yet to act or respond to this demand of the party. He said the party will continue to pressure the state government because personal interview for government jobs is disadvantageous on many counts like loss of public money, time of the officers and also open avenues for corrupt ways of employment.
