Two RTI activists Podmo Teron and Hemphu Engti are staging a silent protest at the entrance of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council’s Secretariat since Wednesday alleging an alleged irregularity in appointments in the Health & Family Welfare department functioning under the administrative jurisdiction of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council.

The silent protesters have claimed that Executive Member in charge of the Health & Family Welfare department Khonsing Rongpi is involved in the job scam. They have asserted that irregularities have taken place while giving appointments in the office of the Joint Director of Health Services and have demanded the annulment of the irregular appointments.

The RTI activists alleged that in 2019 Dr. Kareng Rongpipi Joint Director of Health Services invited applications through an advertisement for filling up of fourteen Grade III and Grade IV posts in her office, and while issuing appointment letters the relatives of the Executive Member were given preference flouting all norms.

 They have claimed that candidates securing the lowest marks in written tests, those who produced fake certificates, and some non Schedule Tribe (Hills) also have been appointed by depriving the genuine and deserving candidates.
