EJAC calls for roll back of SRO-130

Srinagar, Jan 11 ( RNA): JK Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) reacted strongly to the enforcement of SRO-130, calling it unnecessary and unjustified.
President Employees Joint Action Committee Mohd Rafique Rather in a statement issued to press today said that when we need to encourage our youth to pursue competative exams at local, national and international level, Government has come up with SRO-130 which closes the doors of competative exams for our youth thus leaving them more frustrated.
Rafique Rather said that what is the rationale behind reducing the upper age limit from 37 to 32 for civil service aspirants when in most of States its 38 to 40 and added that since Jammu and Kashmir has been witnessing a very difficult situation on account of uncertanity and unemployment for many years now thus youth of JK deserve much fair treatment and relaxation in pursuing their dreams by participating in prestigious competative exams such as KAS and IAS.
Rafique Rather said that like other States Civil Service exams have not been held as per routine here and aspirants have been preparing for it for many years, thus reducing the age limit to 32 years by application of SRO-130 has come as a bolt out of the blue for them and added that the move will add to their stress and make situation more gloomy for them.
Rafique Rather urged upon Honb`le LG Manoj Sinha to personally intervenve and redresses the serious issue by increasing uper age limit to 40 years,so that civil servant aspirants get a sigh of relief.
