HYC warns of protest against SBI

Shillong, Aug 15: The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) has sought clarification from the State Bank of India (SBI) on the alleged appointment of candidates belonging to ST communities of other states against the reservation meant for STs from Meghalaya.

Failure to respond within five days will attract protests against the bank in Khasi-Jaintia Hills districts of the state, warned the pressure group.

The Central Recruitment & Promotion Department, Corporate Centre of the bank had recently posted vacancy for the post of Junior Associate (Customer Support & Sales) in Clerical cadre in SBI where 77 posts were vacant in Meghalaya of which 33 posts were reserved for STs, three for OBCs, seven for EWS and 34 posts for General category. The quantum of reservation for STs is as per the instructions.

Moreover, the said posts do not have provisions for Inter-Circle Transfer/Inter-State Transfer and are Group-C Post of service.

In a letter to the Deputy General Manager, SBI, Shillong Administrative Office, Dhankheti, HYC president Roykupar Synrem said, “With regard to the appointment of the above vacancies and specifically under the reserved quota of 44% for STs of the State of Meghalaya, it has been brought to our notice that Candidates belonging to the ST Communities of other States have been selected for appointment for the above stated post against the reservation meant for STs of the State of Meghalaya,” 

The pressure group alleged that the decision of the SBI to allot the posts reserved for the STs of the state to others is a clear case of depriving the locals of the benefit of such reservation and that it also violates various judgments and orders of the Supreme Court and the Government of India.
