Imphal, April 15: Non-teaching employees of Regional Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) today obstructed the recruitment interview for various post of the Institute by vandalizing the Administrative Block and by shutting the Jubilee Hall gate. Following the agitation, the interview scheduled today for recruitment of Lab Technicians, Data entry, Computer Operator, electrician, storekeeper and tailor has been indefinitely postponed.
Report said, large number of non-teaching employees under the aegis of the Non-Teaching Employee Welfare Association, RIMS gathered in front of A-Block at around 10.30 am today and demanded immediate cancellation of the fresh multi task recruitment interview. The Association has been demanding regularization of the contract employees of various multi task employees and promotion of the regular staffs before any fresh recruitment is conducted.
As the RIMS authority failed to reach an amicable solution to the demand the agitators turn violent and started vandalizing the windows of the A-Block office at around 11 am. Later, the agitators went towards Jubilee Hall RIMS where the recruitment interview was scheduled to be held and locked the gate disallowing any candidates or staffs inside the campus.
Following the tense situation inside the RIMS campus, the authority left with no choice but to postpone the recruitment interview indefinitely.
Speaking to the media person spokesperson and vice president of the Non-Teaching Employee Welfare Association, RIMS, Wahengbam Ranbir said that there are round 2300 non-teaching staffs among which 285 are contractual staffs. He said almost all the contractual staffs who have been working for 10 to 15 years are not provided proper salary. He said the association cannot tolerate their fellow employees being deprived and the association will launch various form of agitation if the RIMS authority failed to listen their grievances.
He further added that the association will not allow conducting any fresh recruitment in the RIMS without regularization of the contract staffs and promotion of the regular employees.
