FAA aspirants continue their protest for 19th consecutive day

SRINAGAR — Scores of candidates, who have qualified the examination for the post of Finance Account Assistant (FAA), continued their protest for the 19th consecutive day on Monday against reports of scrapping of the selection list.

While raising slogans against the administration, the protesters gathered at the Press Enclave and held a sit-in protest and threatened to continue the protest unless their demands are met.

The protesters alleged that malpractices are marring the career of deserving candidates as they are being forced to pay the price of those who cheated.

Earlier, there were reports that the Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board (JKSSB) is cancelling the recruitment of Finance Account Assistants.

“Scrapping and re-examination is not a viable solution as this will demoralise the aspirants,” said one of the protestors.

The protesting candidates urged the LG-led administration to take note of what they see as “mismanagement” in the JKSSB.
