Jammu: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday wrote to the chairman of the Public Service Commission (PSC) to postpone the JKAS exam scheduled for December 7 amid the air service disturbances.
In a letter addressed to the J&K PSC Chairman, the Chief Minister said that the ongoing widespread disruption in air services has caused chaos across the region.
“This is further compounded due to the present uncertainty arising out of the delay in the proposal regarding age relaxation, an enabling provision that has been extended multiple times in the past,” he said.
The Chief Minister further said that these factors have placed unprecedented mental and logistical stress on the competing candidates.
“Keeping in view the principles of fairness, equity and equal opportunity for all aspirants, I would urge the commission to take cognisance of the prevailing circumstances and consider postponement of the scheduled examination by a reasonable duration purely in the interest of the candidates,” read the letter of the Chief Minister.
Omar Abdullah’s letter followed a statement by the L-G that the file about the conduct of the JKAS exam was not pending with the Lok Bhavan.
