AIADMK demands cancellation of recruitment to the post of assistants

The Hindu25-06-2025
The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam has demanded cancellation of the test conducted for the recruitment of Assistants in the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms as there have been reports of discrepancies in people selected under EWS quota in the four regions of the Union Territory.
Addressing a press conference here, party secretary A. Anbalagan said as per the results declared on Tuesday, 256 candidates were selected for the Assistant post through examination. As per EWS norms, around 25 persons were eligible to be selected out of the total recruited candidates under the quota in the Union Territory.
However, results showed that 23 persons got selected under EWS quota from Yanam region alone. Of the total selected under EWS quota, only two are from the other three regions of Puducherry, Mahe and Karaikal, he said.
'There are complaints that people from Puducherry and Karaikal were not able to obtain proof of EWS certificates from Revenue department. It is a gross injustice to the people of three regions when people from Yanam region alone were able to get selected using the reservation policy. Only a particular caste from Yanam benefited from the quota. The government should cancel the results and conduct a re-test immediately,' he said.

Musi rejuvenation will turn ‘Original City' golden: CM Revanth Reddy

HYDERABAD: Asserting that it is not the 'Old City' but the 'Original City', Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday said that the Musi Riverfront Development Project would transform it into a 'Golden City' with a thriving nightlife economy along the Musi catchment area. He also expressed confidence that the project will turn Hyderabad into the most sought-after city in the world by 2035. On Wednesday, the chief minister laid the foundation stone for a modern Integrated Sub-Registrar Office at Gachibowli. He was accompanied by Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy and IT & Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu. The office, to be built on three acres, will cost `30 crore and is being sponsored by Aparna Constructions. Addressing the gathering, he pointed out that many of the government offices lack even basic amenities and said: 'The new offices in Hyderabad will be built with advanced facilities on par with a five-star ambience. By Telangana Formation Day next year, 11 new integrated registrar offices will be operational. These offices, which generate significant revenue, will provide permanent solutions to public grievances.' Referring to the IT industry's work timing, the chief minister said: 'It requires working at night. By rejuvenating the Musi, we are envisioning a nightlife economy along its catchment area. Businesses would operate from 6 pm to 6 am, creating round-the-clock opportunities. This would not only boost economic activity but also generate employment. To make this possible, Metro connectivity and elevated corridors must be developed in the region.' We want dignified life for Musi residents: CM He announced that the government would lift 20 tmcft of Godavari water to Osmansagar and Himayatsagar to ensure fresh water flows into the Musi. Questioning those opposing the city's development, he said, 'Does anyone wish to live in unhygienic surroundings? Should we leave Hyderabad with dirty, stagnated water, or should we transform it into a global city? Many people without land of their own are living along the Musi. We want to provide them a dignified life through Rajiv Swagruha housing. I am asking (Ponguleti) Srinivasa Reddy to identify land parcels for affordable housing sites for middle-class families, along with financial aid for construction.'
