TURA, Oct 27: A conglomeration of civil societies from South West Garo Hills on Friday sought the cancellation of the LDA results for 10 posts alleging that the result was put out in complete violation of the norms of the government order issued on June 14 this year.
The groups consisting of the GSU, AHAM and NGCO while seeking the immediate cancellation of the result that was declared on October 17, also demanded for a fresh written examination in compliance with the government order.
The combined groups have also dispatched a complaint to the district Deputy Commissioner R P Marak.
“As per the aforementioned Government order, it is clearly stated that while selecting candidates for vacancies, preference should be given to local candidates who are permanent residents of the district in which the vacancy occurs.
Specifically, in the case of Garo Hills, the combined reservation of 80% is meant to be available to Garos in the absence of the Khasi/Jaintia community.
However, the recent result declaration has failed to adhere to these guidelines, thereby depriving the rights of the youth of South West Garo Hills, the groups said, in their complaint.
