The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) through its employment monitoring cell, today informed the Arts and Culture Minister Paul Lyngdoh about the supposed mistake of the Personnel & AR Department in implementing the roster system for the post of guitar instructor at the State Institute of Arts and Culture.
According to the pressure group if the roster system is implemented as is 100 percent of the posts will go to the Garo category.
The KSU said that they met Cyril VD Diengdoh, Secretary of the Personnel & AR Department on Monday on this issue but were not satisfied with the reply received from the officer, who, the union said, did not take any responsibility for the loss of the Khasi-Jaintia category in this post.
The KSU believes that all this is happening because the state government is implementing the roster retrospectively, which it believes will deprive the Khasi-Jaintia of their share in this post until 2040 or even 2045.
Lyngdoh reportedly assured the KSU that he will take action on this issue.
