Trinamool Congress (TMC) MDC from Rongrong Constituency Rinaldo K Sangma has sought intervention of Chief Minister Conrad Sangma with regard to Rectification of Posts and Implementation of Roster Reservation in letter and spirit.
The Rongrong MDC wrote a letter to the Chief Minister on the recent corrigendum notices which has been notified by the Meghalaya Public Service Commission indicates that roster reservation system to recruitment to certain posts as directed by the Meghalaya High Court is clearly not being implemented.
“It is appalling to see that most posts which were allotted for the Garo category rectified via a corrigendum in 14th September 2022 last after the judgement order of the Hon’ble High Court’s direction has been altered and the no. of posts for the Garo Category has been reduced,” the MDC said in the letter.
The GHADC member pointed out that the recruitment to the post of Lower Division Assistant (LDA) in the Meghalaya Secretariat for the Garo category was initially rectified to 43 posts but was subsequently reduced to 39 posts in a re-noticed corrigendum advertised on July 28, 2023.
The letter also questions the basis for such changes and whether a new Roster Reservation office memorandum had been issued to justify these alterations.
“On what grounds have the advertisements been changed? Whether a new Roster Reservation office memorandum prescribing for prospective implementation has been notified? This is a sheer deprivation to our entitlements and utter disregard to the directions of the Hon’ble High Court,” he added.
