Wannabe Cops On Warpath in Manipur

Sinlung's View: With no jobs on the horizon, any job is a good job. With so much unemployment and so much skill...its always push and shove and its always the undeserving that get the job, WHY? Because they can buy the job.

Where else in the world would you find...people paying money to bureaucrats, politicians to get jobs except in Manipur. A primary school teacher's job costs about Rs 6 Lakhs and depending on the amount and grade it surely increases.

IT'S SAD. Manipur is no longer a jewel of the east but a garbage dump of unwanted job wannabees, unprofessional, skill-less, bribe-minded individuals sucking Manipur in the chasm of oblivion.




Imphal, Jun 10
: A bandh called by a group of candidates. who had appeared for interviews to get recruited as havildars and Constable Radio Telephone Operators (CRTOs) last year in the Manipur police department, failed to evoke response on Thursday.

They were protesting against the state government's delay in declaring results of the interview the candidates had announced the launching of a 36-hour state-wide general strike from Thursday morning.

After clearing the physical efficiency and written tests in July 2008, the 480 candidates appeared for their viva voce test in April and May last year. However, the results have not been declared till date.

The irate candidates claimed that 73 Havildars and 91 CRTOs were supposed to be recruited. They formed an association and launched an agitation seeking declaration of results.

The group has also asked their guardians too back their demands by setting up a similar body.

As decided by the two bodies in a meeting convened on Sunday, the 36-hour general strike was launched from Thursday morning 5am, a key leader of the candidates' association said.

The state government should be held responsible for any eventualities that might be triggered in the course of the stir, he added.

He said the association had no other alternative but to launch the strike as the government has repeatedly delayed declaration of results.
