Ishfaq Tantry SRINAGAR: Even as the state Cabinet has put a ban on the re-employment of officials in different departments in its decision on April 24, the Tourism and Culture Department has violated the decision by granting 4th extension to a retired official and re-employing him for another one-year term. The Tourism and Culture Department has re-employed SKA Qadri as consultant in the same department for a period of one year with...

SRINAGAR: Even as the number of unemployed youth has swelled to a staggering 6-lakh mark, more than 72,000 posts are still lying vacant in various government departments in the state. The state government’s lackadaisical approach to fill the vacant posts could be gauged from the fact that it had filled just 11,807 vacancies in various departments in the past two years. It, however, claimed that nearly 80,000 vacancies would be filled through fast-track mode in the coming two years. “A total of 72,852 posts...

Ashiq Hussain SRINAGAR: The J&K government's new recruitment drive for unemployed youths has had the youth up in arms. Reason - the salary offered puts an engineer, designer or an architect on par with a roadside painter. Worse, for at least five years, a civil engineer will get half the money the government pays a peon or a driver. This flies even in the face of the labour...

Anznoo Wasim “Truth is bitter”, somebody has rightly said; hence unpalatable truth is. But since it is 'truth' one needs to digest it willfully or unwillingly. Hold on, I’m talking about the government’s recent decision of recruiting more than 1400 Kashmiri Pandits in the valley in order to motivate them to return to their homeland. First, it is perplexing to know that one needs ‘motivation’ to return to their homeland. Second if at all they are so anxious to return then it is not...

SRINAGAR, July 9: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Monday said he was both happy and hopeful about the ‘positive transformation' taking place in the mindset of Kashmiri youth, who, according to him were now giving lesser preference to government jobs. Abdullah also urged them to "build a Kashmir of their own dreams”. The Chief Minister was addressing a seminar in Srinagar aimed at making youth aware of potential job options other than the government jobs. “You are the future ones to take care of the State and...
