Over-aged dentists demand relaxation from J
Jammu, Mar 15 (UNI) Around fifty over-aged dentist doctors today demanded age relaxation from the Jammu and Kashmir Government in the vacancies referred to the Public Service Commission (PSC) this February.
Addressing the media persons here, President All India Dentist Association, Jammu Branch, Dr. Rakesh Talwar Bedi said out of 80 over-aged dentist doctors, 40 of them are employed on contractual basis.
''Those employed on contractual basis are being given relaxation in age to get them permanent but no attention is being paid to rest of the unemployed,'' Dr. Bedi said.
''We
should
also
be
considered
by
the
state
government
as
we
are
unemployed
but
the
benefit
is
being
given
to
those,
who
are
already
engaged
on
contracts,''
the
association
president
said
asserting,
''Already
in
the
year
1996
and
2006,
scores
of
doctors
were
considered
under
age
relaxation.''
The
vacancies
have
been
referred
to
the
PSC
under
notification
number:
2:18/2008/PSC,
the
dentists
said
and
alleged,
''we
approached
various
government
bodies
and
ministers
but
nothing
has
been
done.
We
want
Chief
Minister
Ghulam
Nabi
Azad
to
intervene
in
the
matter.''
