Three pressure groups – Khasi Students’ Union (KSU), Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP) and Hynniewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF) – have decided to observe the third death anniversary of former Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) general secretary Cherishterfield Thangkhiew on August 13.

The Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) has assured to publish the marks of all the candidates of the Meghalaya Civil Service (Preliminary) Examination within 24 hours following a protest staged by the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU), which has been demanding transparency in the recruitment process.

The effigy, which had “The MPSC crook”, “corruption”, “nepotism” and a picture showing the giving and taking of money on it, was burnt in front of the MPSC office during a sit-in-demonstration staged by the KSU for the second time in a span of one week.

The Khasi Students' Union (KSU) on Saturday appealed to all 13,000 candidates, who appeared for the MCS (Prelims) Examination, to join hands in ending alleged corruption in the Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) by demanding publishing of their marks.

A group of candidates, who have cleared the MCS (Prelims) examination and whose names have appeared in the original list of 580 candidates, have alleged that the daughter of the secretary of the Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) is among those who raised objection to the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU)'s demand for disclosure of marks by all the students.

The Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) has decided not to display the marks of the MCS Preliminary Examination following objection from the candidates.

Activists of the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) on Thursday burnt the reply of the Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) during a sit-in-demonstration held in the Commission’s premises as a mark of protest against its failure to address the irregularities and demand for transparency in the recruitment of MCS, MPS and statistical officers in the Animal Husbandry & Veterinary department.
