KHNAM for recruitment of local youths in telecom sector

SHILLONG: The KHNAM, youth wing urged Information Technology Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh to ensure that the State reservation policy is followed in recruitment in the telecom sector.
In a memorandum submitted to the minister on Thursday, KHNAM also demanded that Khasi language be used in the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system besides calling for safety of women at work place. “All telecom companies need to be directed to adhere to the State Reservation Policy and also ensure that persons employed are permanent residents of the state so as to bring down the present unemployment rate in Meghalaya,” the KHNAM youth wing said.
