SHILLONG, APR 30: A group of nine young job aspirants on Tuesday demanded the state government to come up with a Corrigendum to rectify the alleged irregularity in the upper age limit set for recruitment in the Meghalaya police.
According to them, due to such irregularity in the upper age limit set in the Central Recruitment Board (CRB) Advertisement, they have been deprived from applying for the vacancy posts in the Meghalaya police.
A memorandum in this regard was submitted by the aggrieved youth to the Secretary in-charge Home (Police), Personnel & AR (A) and chairman of the CRB for necessary action.
“In view of the facts and circumstances presented in the paragraphs above, we are appending our signatures to this joint representation on irregularity in upper age limit set for recruitment to vacancies in Meghalaya police, with the demand that a Corrigendum be issued by competent authority to rectify the upper age limit in the CRB Advertisement, and that the last date for receiving applications from candidates be extended for those who could not apply earlier due to being viewed over-age by the impugned advertisement,” the aggrieved youth stated in the memorandum.
They also alleged that as per CRB Advertisement, the upper age limit for various posts in Unarmed Branch and Armed Branch have been set in clear violation of the OM on age relaxation.
“The upper age limit for the posts advertised in the CRB Advertisement, which are posts in Government service in the state of Meghalaya, ought to be strictly in accordance with the OM on age relaxation. That even if it has been mentioned in the CRB Advertisement that the entire recruitment process will be conducted as per the guidelines, the upper age limit cannot be set as per the guidelines because of the legal operation of the OM on age relaxation,” they said.
“That in case the upper age limit for certain categories of posts like those appearing in the CRB Advertisement were to be decreased, then the OM on age relaxation provides for such exceptions but it requires that such categories of posts are to be notified by the Personnel & AR (A) department, and in our finding, there is no such notification till date,” the aggrieved youth also added.
