Demand to Club Vacancies with Ongoing JKSSB Referrals

In response to these massive vacancies, a representative body plans to submit a formal representation to the Health Department and the Health Minister. The core demand is for the government to club these 1,700+ vacant GMC positions with an existing pool of 1,400+ posts from the Director Health Services Jammu and Kashmir, which are currently under process for Referral to JKSSB.

Advocates argue that officially referring these 1,700 GMC vacancies to the JKSSB alongside the active recruitment drive will directly benefit thousands of Unemployed Youth of J&K who are eagerly waiting for government job opportunities.

To ensure their voices are heard and their representation is effectively implemented, organizers are calling for widespread support from job seekers. A mobilization drive has been scheduled for Monday, June 15.

As part of the initiative, a delegation is scheduled to visit the Civil Secretariat Jammu. Furthermore, organizers have strongly urged aspirants based in Kashmir to undertake a parallel, synchronized effort in their respective region for effective implementation of their representation.
