Shillong, Oct 1: The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) on Tuesday demanded the state government to institute a judicial inquiry into the anomalies and irregularities in the recent declaration of the results for the Staff Nurse and ANM examination.
Speaking to reporters, HYC president Roykupar Synrem said, “We demand the government to immediately institute a judicial inquiry to be headed by the Session District Judge or retired judge into the matter.”
“We also demand that stern action be taken against those responsible for such irregularities,” he said.
He said such irregularities in the recruitment process especially despite the introduction of OMR sheets will discourage job aspirants as they will lose faith in the system.
“How is it possible that the name of a person, who did not appear for the examination, is included in the list along with marks?” he asked.
“Therefore, we demanded that the health department should consider keeping in abeyance the recruitment process till corrective measures to address such irregularities are taken,” the HYC president stated.
Results of the written examination of Staff Nurse and ANM conducted by the Meghalaya Medical Services Recruitment Board (MMSRB) were declared on September 28.
HYC’s demand comes after the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) demanded cancellation of the recent results of the Staff Nurse and ANM examination following complaints of alleged anomalies and irregularities. The Union wrote a letter to the Health Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh on Monday, demanding the cancellation of the results declared as well as departmental proceedings against the person(s) involved in scrutiny and publication of the results.
It also demanded that all the marks of the candidates must be published and any candidates who feel that they secured less than what they are supposed to get can view their OMR sheets and also a copy of it must be supplied to them.
Some of the irregularities that have raised questioned on the exam results include: 13 questions not related to the specific subjects mentioned in the advertisement, repetition of roll numbers in first and second list of results – both of which were declared on the same date, besides physical verification dates for some roll numbers mentioned is in the year 2025, 2026, …, 2028!
