Sundas objects mandate requirement for Technical Support hand post

Kalimpong, March 13: The submission of application process as directed by the West Bengal Power Department has been objected by the CPM leader Tara Sundas. While speaking to the reporters today, Sundas informed that the department on 6th March, 2013 has directed all the applicants to issue a draft of Rs 150/- for the applications. However, it has been mentioned that the draft has to particularly from the United Bank. The problem now lies here that there are no branches of the said bank in Kalimpong and Kurseong, he complained. 

“Now the unemployed needs to spend around Rs 1000/- just for the sake of Rs 150/-, and go to other places to make the draft”, he said. He blamed that such low sightedness policy is the main reason for unemployment in the hills. He informed that he approached the department to complain about the same, but he could not contact any officers as they were not in the office.

 Thus, Sundas along with 20 applicants went to the Regional office at Siliguri and met with an official there. However, Sundas has complained that no satisfactory answers were given by the officials there, too. It may be mentioned that pplications for the post of Technical Support Hand post are being invited by the department. There are 102 posts vacant under the same.
