RAJOURI, Dec10: Anti Illegal Reservation Front (AIRF) today demanded seven years mandatory service in rural area under RBA and ALC categories.
Newly constituted AIRF in Rajouri by the members of civil society under the presidentship of SK Mughal, a social activist, has alleged large scale violation of norms laid down for appointments in Government jobs under RBA and ALC categories.
They said the AIRF has also demanded Schedule Tribe status for Rajouri and Poonch districts so that some families and their children who don’t fall under any reserve category, do not feel neglected. “The youth from the open categories belong to some Hindu, Muslim and Sikh families have been denied Government jobs and got frustrated despite their high percentage in the qualifying/competitive examinations”, AIRF said.
The members alleged that under RBA and ALC categories it is mandatory for a new appointee from RBA and ALC categories to serve for seven years in the rural areas under Government rules and norms. They alleged that many employees of these categories have got the promotions and appointments in the cities and most of them have settled there.
They added that under GAD guidelines any person appointed against any available vacancy on the basis of his being a resident of backward area or an area adjoining Line of Actual Control shall serve in such areas for a period of not less than seven years. It further said that in case the post against which he has been appointed is not available in such area, he shall be posted in the nearest adjacent backward area or nearest adjacent LAC.
