Shillong, April 13: The state cabinet is yet to take a decision on the roster system under the reservation policy.
After the cabinet meetng on Wednesday, the Chief Minister Conrad Sangma admitted that the state government did not follow any roster system while implementing the state reservation policy for the past 50 years.
“For the last 50 years since the reservation policy was there, the roster system was not put up. And as the court has directed to look into the matter, we are examining it now and we are doing our entire homework before we come to the final affidavit to the High Court.”
Roster followed for PWDs
He, however, said it is the present state government which has created the first roster system for the People With Disabilities (PWDs).
“In fact it was not there for the physically disabled also but it was this government that did that in the past and based on the roster system now there is a proper chart that is followed while implementing the 4% job reservation for the PWDs” ,Sangma said.
Govt collecting details
The cabinet discussed the order of High Court of Meghalaya which stayed all recruitment processes of the government until the roster system is put in place.
The chief minister said the government is still preparing the reply and the affidavit.
“We are going to take it up in the next few days again as we did not conclude today. We are still preparing the entire reply. We need to ensure that we do our homework properly so we are in the process of doing that so more information and more details are being collected,” he said
