Arunachal: Reforms in APPSC demanded by Tirap parents, CBOs

KHONSA: “Parents” of Tarp district, along with various civil societies and student organisations, have come together to condemn the Pan Arunachal Joint Steering Committee’s (PAJSC) “null and void” demand over the failed APPSC paper leak.

“Tirap district has historically been socially and economically backward, and only a few officials from the district have been able to crack the competitive exams. Among the more than 900 officials recruited by APPSC from 2014 to 2022, From, only 14 candidates from Tarp managed to make it to the list and all of them were deserving,” the group said in a statement.

The group also called for action against all sources of social media trolls who tarnish the image of genuine candidates.
“We thank all the CBOs and student unions of the district for taking a legitimate stand on the movement against the “null and void” demand of PAJSC. We hope that the government will take prompt and appropriate action to resolve the issue. will take action and bring much needed reforms in the APPSC system.
