Tripunithura ∙ How much does one minute cost? In Udayamperur ‘Sayujya’ P.S. If the question is Saijuvinada, the answer will be: ‘The price of life’. LD Clerk Supplementary List including Saiju closed on March 31, 2018 at 12 PM. However, the vacancy was reported by Thiruvananthapuram Urban Affairs Department on 12.01. Job loss in a minute! In a similar situation, a young woman named Nisha Balakrishnan lost her job in the urban affairs department and this incident came to light.
Saiju, who has no sight in one eye, has suffered for 20 years because of the indifference of the officials. Saiju, who was ninth in the rank list, was a regular visitor to the district PSC office before the end of the list on March 31. Officials will dismiss it saying that they will be notified every time they come.
Finally, on March 31, Saiju learned that only those up to the 8th rank were considered and the 8th-ranked native of Edavanakkad had written two weeks ago that he did not want the job. Then, the list is only valid for a few hours. Before it is over, the officials decided to find the 8th ranker and deliver the letter stating that he does not want the job to Thiruvananthapuram Urban Affairs Department and the Urban Affairs Department should report the vacancy to the PSC.
According to this, the 8th ranker was found and a letter was sent to the Thiruvananthapuram Urban Affairs Department by e-mail at 6.30 pm. Officials of the PSC district office informed that they have received the notice of receipt of the letter from the department and all the procedures from Saiju’s side have been completed and it is enough to come when the advice memo is received.
The next day when he reached the PSC office again, anxious to get a job, things went awry. Officials informed that the notice from the urban affairs department was received on 12.01 and the list was canceled on the 12th itself.
The very next day, I went directly to the Thiruvananthapuram City Affairs Department and lodged a complaint. The Director of Urban Affairs sent a letter to the PSC District Officer asking him to treat it as a technical error and appoint him to the vacancy, but the PSC officials did not budge.
20 years of hard work of Saiju, who runs a stationery shop at Udayamperur Nadakav with limited vision, has been wasted due to the negligence of the officials. Then approached the Administrative Tribunal. PSC got the ruling that if there are vacancies, the appointment should be made, but it was rejected by the PSC citing technicalities.
