Resentment over selection for jobs in Arunachal

All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union (AAPSU) has expressed resentment over the manner in which candidates were selected for State government jobs and demanded that Centre's directive on appointment of SC/ST candidates selected on merit, be followed in toto. In a release Pngsa Soham and Norbu Sonam, general secretary and convenor of the AAPSU alleged that some scheduled tribe candidates, who had topped the merit list for a job under irrigation and flood control department recently, were put under the reserved category. Stating that according to the Centre's directive, employment of SC and ST candidates selected on their own merits would not be adjusted against the reserved vacancies, it said.
