Shillong, June 5: UDP legislator, Paul Lyngdoh on Monday said that review of the job reservation policy of 1972 will not put an end to the unemployment problem in the State.

While speaking to reporters, Lyngdoh said only 500 job vacancies were available in various government undertakings and that too was a dwindling sector in terms of employment generation.

According to him, there is a need to talk more of sectors like tourism, weaving, village tourism, government aided projects as they provide a lot of opportunities.

Stating that the sense of priorities is very wrong, the UDP legislator said that the real issues which afflicted the state were drug addiction, single-mother families, child malnourishment, infant mortality rate and landlessness.

“Why are we not raising such issues since they don’t have that element of instigating hate and they are not populace since they are not as popular as issues,” Lyngdoh said.
