“Many SSB aspirations are stuck at Tulail Gurez, they have to appear in the upcoming Finance Accounts assistant exam on 6th March 2022. My request to @OfficeOfLGJandK @owais_ias kindly arrange some air sorties for these aspirants so that they can attend the said exams (sic),” Imtiyaz Khan, a local, tweeted.
“Our bad luck is that we always remain in hardships throughout life. If these students miss the exam, who is responsible then? Better was to allow them by foot today or open the road as soon as possible. Requesting to higher-ups, please save the future of our students of Gurez,” Samoon Irshad another local said.
Similarly, Javid lone, a resident of Karnah, said that many job aspirants who are supposed to appear in the upcoming JKSSB examination are also waiting to get airlifted from the Karnah area so that they can appear in the examination. “I hope the government takes good steps in this regard,” he added.
