Surat: Unemployment seems to be screaming from every corner with posters threatening ‘No recruitment, No vote’ fluttering widely across the city. Demand for recruitment on government jobs have cropped up at major crossroads in various parts of the Diamond City on Tuesday in a state that has more than 30 lakh unemployed educated youths.
The posters were seen in mostly in Patidar-dominated areas of the city. At 25 locations the posters were reportedly put up by protesting youth from the city.
“Thousands of youth from the state and city are waiting for government jobs. But the recruitment process has been delayed on some or the other pretext. Injustice has been done to male candidates on LRD posts, while SRP candidates are still waiting for appointment,” said Chintan Sanghani, an activist.
Protesting youth are also demanding withdrawal of police cases registered against leaders representing these candidates.
“Government announced recruitment in sachivalay, talati and forest department and lakhs of job aspirants have applied for these openings. But the recruitment process is yet to start in any of the departments,” Sanghani added.
Protesters have started their campaign during the civic polls to corner the government. They will now distribute pamphlets explaining their grievances in detail in different areas to create awareness about the protest campaign.
