SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Wednesday has written to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, urging him to immediately postpone all competitive and recruitment examinations scheduled for September in light of the devastating floods and landslides that have wreaked havoc across the Union Territory.
In a statement, the Association’s National Media Coordinator, Mir Zubair, said that the recent spell of incessant rains has not only destroyed homes and property but has also left students among the worst affected.
“Many aspirants have lost their study material, essential documents, and even their homes. With road connectivity snapped in several areas and internet services disrupted, it is unfair to expect them to appear for examinations under such circumstances,” Zubair said.He pointed out that examinations conducted by JKPSC and JKSSB, particularly the Plus-2 Lecturer and JE (Electrical) recruitment tests, are fast approaching, while thousands of aspirants remain under severe distress.
“Holding exams in the middle of this humanitarian crisis would deny students a level playing field and deepen their trauma,” he added.The Association emphasized that postponing the exams would be a compassionate and fair step, giving students the breathing space to recover and prepare once the situation normalizes. “We hope the LG will urgently intervene to safeguard the aspirations of youth, who form the backbone of Jammu and Kashmir’s progress,” Zubair added.
