TURA: The All Meghalaya Minority Students’ Union (AMMSU) along with the Kisan Society has submitted a memorandum to state Home Minister J P K Sangma asking for better job opportunity for the educated youths of the region with a suggestion that out of 10 vacant posts, one should be given to the general candidates.
The same memorandum was earlier submitted to the Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma.
“The authorities are not giving jobs to the minority community. There is no one from community holding the posts of MCS, DO etc., which created by the MPSC,” the groups said.
Stating that the plain belt region is being deprived of proper medical infrastructure, the groups urged setting up of more PHCs and CHCs in the region.
The groups while claiming that many posts are lying vacant in Sericulture, Weaving, Agriculture, Health and Education departments, they urged the government to absorb the trained candidates from the region in the posts.
Besides, the groups also sought the creation of a new Subdivision at Bhaitbari and the setting up BSC college or university in the region.
