48-hr ultimatum to Meghalaya govt to put on hold all recruitment: VPP

Toughening its stand, the Voice of the People Party (VPP) on Friday served a 48-hour ultimatum to the state government to issue a notification putting on hold all ongoing recruitment processes till the issues of roster system and Meghalaya State Reservation Policy are deliberated upon threadbare and resolved.

The VPP lamented that despite its plea to Sangma through a letter for a special session of the Assembly so that the legislators can deliberate and resolve the issues, the Chief Minister’s Office did not respond.

Addressing the meeting, VPP president Ardent M Basaiawmoit said as the party wants the government to review the reservation policy, the recruitment processes should be kept on hold.
