Meanwhile, a delegation of members of the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) Mawlai circle and the FKJGP Mawlai met officials of the FCI, Mawlai Mawroh, on Tuesday with a request to provide job to a family member of the deceased since his widow has to look after five children, the youngest being three months old.
The officials of FCI informed the delegation that the onus of appointing employees is on the central body in Delhi. However, they will write to the Delhi head office and send copies of the KSU and FKJGP’s letter to the FCI.
