They criticised the inter district recruitment policy due to some ill effects saying “since the implementation of decentralisation recruitment Act 2010, which reads, SC from any district can apply in each and every district of the State, we, the inhabitants of hilly and educationally backward districts of Jammu region, where, there is adequate SC population, that is Reasi, Rajouri, Poonch, Ramban, Udhampur, Doda and Kishtwar have suffered badly”.
They further maintained that “the standard of education in our hilly districts is not at par with educationally forward districts. Moreover, SC form other districts are considered only among SC category posts. Due to this even our candidates who have qualified the written exam, could not got selected, as the merit of inter district SC candidate remains higher than open merit cutoff. Which on one hand, snatches our right and on other hand violates the reservation rule, (as merit of SC select list can never be higher than OM select list as per reservation rules.) since the implementation of inter-district recruitment for SC”.
Moreover ,only few candidates from Jammu, Kathua and Samba , who are meritorious got selected almost in all the districts, they said.
“As, the select lists of different districts are declared separately, they join and resign and finally prefer their home district , Just snatching the rights of inhabitants of those hilly districts . Due to which, the SC from Jammu, Kathua and Samba who are educationally forwarded having all facilities, snatch the rights of hilly districts such as Reasi , Rajouri, Poonch , Ramban, Kishtwar, Doda, Udhampur. Where there is lack of facilities and educational opportunities due to number of causes. The situation is seen same, even for class IV posts. Due to inter district recruitment, in district level posts, even class IV , we are competing at state level etc, they maintained.
