Contract PWD workers allege job scam in PWD, demand regularization of post

PWD I.T department Contract workers have come out on the streets in protest after 31 new permanent job vacancies were announced. They claimed that they have been working for over 8 years but weren’t offered regularized posts while the PWD is hiring new recruits for the same. They even alleged that bribes of over 35 lakh have been demanded for these posts.

With elections coming closer, jobs scams have garnered a lot of attention. Now PWD contract workers  claimed that their salaries were even reduced years ago in promise of regularization. But even after so many years noting was being done.

They claimed that politics was playing a big role in the recruitment procedure and alleged that bribes in tune of over 35 lakhs per post were demanded by politicians. They now demand that the new job listing be scrapped and that they be offered regularized posts before hiring new recruits.
