Aspirants vying for various posts in the Fire & Emergency Services Department took to the streets in Srinagar, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and staged a protest to demand justice and the public release of the committee’s inquiry report.
Scores of protesters gathered at the Press Enclave in Srinagar holding placards and raising slogans in support of their demands.
The aspirants have been embroiled in a long-standing battle against the authorities, alleging mal-practices and corruption in the recruitment process.
Their grievances date back to 2019, and despite their efforts, they claim no resolution has been reached.
Even the committee formed to investigate the matter has not submitted its report,” stated Showkat Ahmad, one of the protesters.
According to the aspirants, the committee was expected to present its findings within a month. However, they lamented that over six months have passed without any sign of the report or tangible progress.—KMS
