Protests against RRB NTPC result
The RRB NTPC CBT 2 exams were scheduled to be held in a single phase from February 15 to 19. However, after aspirants alleged erroneous results and incidents of violent clashes between protestors and police in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the Railways called off the NTPC exam.
Apart from pointing out anomalies in recruitments, the candidates have claimed that the cut-off of the exam was very high and that a single candidate was selected for several roles, limiting the opportunities for other aspirants.
On Wednesday, the Railways formed a committee headed by Deepak Peter Gabriel, Principal Executive Director (Industrial Relations) in the Railway ministry. The committee will talk to willing volunteers from protestors and engage with those who have qualified as well as those who could not, as per a report by Indian Express.
“RRBs are committed to conduct fair and transparent recruitment process maintaining highest standards of integrity. Railway job aspirants/candidates are advised not to be misguided or come under the influence of such elements who are trying to use them for fulfilling their own selfish wish,” RRB had said in an earlier notice.
