Chandigarh, October 9
The AAP today accused the Congress and previous SAD-BJP governments of not formulating any policy to secure jobs in public and private sectors for the youth of the state, enabling candidates from other states to take jobs here.
In a statement, state president Bhagwant Mann said the latest example was the inclusion of 51 to 71 per cent candidates from other states in the merit list for various posts of Punjab State Transmission Corporation Limited (PSTCL). He said as per the PSTCL list, up to 71 per cent candidates from other states had managed to secure jobs. “Of the total 95 posts of assistant lineman (general category), 64 have been filled by candidates from other states, accounting for 67 per cent share. Similarly, 28 of 39 posts (71.70% share) of assistant sub-station attendant were taken by candidates from other states. Also, 28 of 54 posts (52%) of JE sub-station and 4 of 11 posts of assistant engineer (36%) were taken by outside candidates.” — TNS
