Earlier today, the CTAN had protested outside the Directorate of Soil and Water Conservation, AG colony. CTAN’s convenor, Meshenlo Kath, briefed the media about the demand for termination of the two JSCO contract appointments and the regularization of employees in group A & B posts appointed before 06.06.2016.
Kath also mentioned that implementing these regularizations would suppress those who come through NPSC. He urged aspirants not to be silent spectators and to fight for their rights, calling it a wake-up call. “The government is taking advantage because they are keeping silent,” stated Kath.
