HP Govt maintains transparency in recruitment of Patwaris, says Jal Shakti Minister after HC judgement

Shimla, Jun 4 (UNI) Jal Shakti Minister Mahender Singh and Education Minister Suresh Bhardwaj said on Thursday said that no irregularities were found in the Patwari recruitment examination, which was cleared in a judgement passed by the Himachal Pradesh High Court today.
The leaders of the opposition were raising an unnecessary hue and cry in this regard, which was completely baseless, he said, adding that more than three lakh candidates had applied for appearing in this examination and about three lakh candidates actually appeared in it for approximately 1,200 vacancies and 1,150 candidates emerged successfully but the further process had to keep in abeyance in view of the pendency of the petition.
On November 17, 2019, the written examination was conducted through various Deputy Commissioners in different districts. Few candidates challenged the recruitment of the Patwaris in the High Court, alleging irregularities in the recruitment. State Government filed a detailed reply on this appeal and stated that no irregularity was done in this regard. They said that one of the candidates, who had challenged the appeal had not even appeared in the examination.
