Launch of Recruitment System Reform Yatra in Jharkhand
Mahto announced the initiation of the “Recruitment System Reform Yatra,” emphasizing its alignment with the traditional customs of Jharkhand. The event will feature various rituals, including ceremonies conducted by senior pahans, the national anthem played alongside the beats of the madar, tributes to notable leaders, and the planting of a sal sapling.
The yatra is aimed at raising awareness and building support among aspirants and young people across Jharkhand regarding concerns about transparency, accountability, and fairness in government recruitment. A team of advocates will accompany the aspirants during the campaign to provide legal assistance on recruitment-related matters. Mahto claimed that the campaign had received support from aspirants and people in several districts of Jharkhand.
Mahto said candidates who wish to participate as interveners in relevant legal cases would also be assisted with Vakalatnama and other legal procedures. He stressed that the campaign would remain constitutional, democratic and peaceful, and said any violence, disruption or activity affecting law and order would have no association with the movement. “The main objective of the campaign is to strongly and democratically place the problems and demands of aspirants and the necessary reforms in the recruitment system before the government and concerned recruitment bodies,” Mahto said. He said the movement was aimed at ensuring justice for deserving candidates, greater transparency in recruitment and an end to corruption and irregularities.
