Amid continuous protests by aspirants, the Jammu and Kashmir government on Sunday cancelled selection process of two more recruitments by Service Selection Board (SSB) and ordered a CBI probe for selection of financial account assistants (FAA) and junior engineers(JE) over allegations of irregularities.
The cancellation comes more than a month after the administration had cancelled the process for selection of sub inspectors.
“JKSSB FAAs & JE Civil recruitment has been cancelled & a CBI probe recommended into selection process,” government’s directorate of information and public relations said in a tweet. “Government assures all the aspirants that culprits will not be spared & there won’t be any compromise on merit. Fresh recruitment process for FAAs and JE Civil will start soon.”
The cancellation comes after a high-level committee was looking into the allegations of irregularities into the selections.
