Pathak said, “Candidates aspiring for various positions under UPSSSC have raised concerns regarding age limits and are urging the early declaration of results. Some are awaiting appointment letters, while others are concerned about the recall of requisitions to facilitate recruitment for a larger number of vacancies.”
He added, “We have discussed all these matters with senior UPSSSC officials and have ensured that their appointments are finalised. These candidates will now meet the officials in delegations.”
The Deputy Chief Minister emphasised, “These young people are like our own family, and our government stands firmly with the youth. We have instructed UPSSSC officials to listen to their grievances and assist them.”
The aspirants had gathered with banners and posters, raising demands related to several pending recruitment processes. They sought the release of medical examination results for 709 vacant posts under the Forest Guard Recruitment-2023, a new notification for Lab Technician recruitment, and recruitment of ADO-level staff for 612 posts.
The protesters also raised the issue of reinstatement of security guards removed from the Health Department. Aspirants from the Allopathic Pharmacy stream and candidates on the UPSSSC waiting list requested appointments as well.
Pathak confirmed that candidates would meet UPSSSC officials in delegations and assured that their grievances would be heard and necessary assistance provided.
