The Ministry of Railways said the high-power committee will submit its report by March 4 after seriously examining the objections received.
New Delhi: Amid the ongoing protests over alleged irregularities in the results of the examination conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board for the Non-Technical Popular Categories, the Ministry of Railways on Friday said the complaints and suggestions can be sent to the high-power committee till February 16.
The Ministry of Railways said the high-power committee will submit its report by March 4 after seriously examining the objections received.
East Central Railway (ECR) CPRO Rajesh Kumar said the Ministry of Railways is extremely sensitive to the problems of the students.
“We have formed a five-member committee at the Railway Board level. Whatever concerns you have, you bring it before this high-power committee,” said Kumar in a video message posted on Twitter.
“The RRB chairmen of respective regions have been instructed to reach out to you all,” he added.
The ECR CPRO said the Ministry of Railways is launching an outreach programme in a planned manner to find solutions to the students’ problems.
“Your concerns and suggestions will be taken as part of this programme. The Ministry of Railways will find solutions to your problems with full sensitivity. I request you all once again to stay calm and maintain peace,” he added.
Asserting the entire examination has been conducted in a transparent and fair manner, Kumar said: “The candidates appeared in this examination in large numbers. There has been no mistake in the examination. There are some misconceptions in your mind regarding the results’ shortlisting process.”
“We will listen to your concerns and solve all problems,” he added.
The students staged a protest in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh alleging irregularities in RRB-NTPC stage 1 exam results.
The students also clashed with the police personnel during their protest, which gradually spread to other parts of the country.
The protests took place in Patna, Nawada, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Buxar and Bhojpur districts.
Several trains were cancelled due to the protests.
The angry protesters blocked the railway tracks, clashed with the security forces and damaged railway property at some places.
Accusing the authorities of playing with the students’ future, the protesters claimed that only one exam was mentioned in the RRB notification issued earlier in 2019.
The matter gained momentum after the examination results were declared on January 15.
The Ministry of Railways had issued a clarification stating the notification clearly mentioned that it was the second stage of the examination.
