PANJIM: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Goa on Tuesday objected to the manner in which the Goa Human Resource Development Corporation (GHRDC) has issued an advertisement for the recruitment of Multi-Task Staff (MTS) to be deployed at various government offices.
In a memorandum submitted to GHRDC Chairman and MLA Rudolf Fernandes, AAP State Youth Wing President Rohan Naik has demanded that the advertisement be withheld and a fresh advertisement be issued to rectify the defects.
Naik said, “We object to charging any fee for the application form. Moreover, if a candidate wishes to apply for more than one job, he will have to pay Rs 50 for each form. We demand that no fee should be charged for applications and that they be made available on the government portal.”
Naik has also pointed out that making the forms available online or having the entire application submission process online will help avoid huge queues at the GHRDC office. Additionally, this will save the travel and food costs for candidates who come from remote areas to collect a form, he said.
Stating that there is no provision for reservation for categories such as SC/ST/OBC, PwD, EWS, etc., he has demanded that the recruitment advertisement be withdrawn and re-notified with provisions for reservation.
“The various commissions looking after the rights of these communities and categories are requested to seek clarification from GHRDC on why the provisions for reservation are not made applicable to these jobs. There is no clarity and description on how the entire recruitment process will be conducted in the advertisement,” Naik said.
