SHILLONG, APR 7: The Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People – Mawthadraishan Circle (FKJGP – MC) has demanded that the state government immediately appoint the required staffs in the Pig Breeding Farm at Nongkasen village in West Khasi hills district.
A delegation of the FKJGP met the Director of Veterinary and Animal Husbandary to seek his intervention on Tuesday.
“We demand the government appoint regular staffs to ensure that the aim of department in setting up this Pig Breeding Farm is achieved,” FKJGP-MC president D Kharsyntiew said.
The demand came after complaint was received that the farm was being run by eight muster rolls without any technical staffs.
“The farm which was set up way back in 2010 is yet to be officially operationalised asthere are only eight muster rolls appointed by the department,” Kharsyntiew said. According to him, the farm which is under the District AH& Vety Officer Nongstoin, was targeted to produce 2000 piglets annually with 100 saw units as per its capacity.
Kharsyntiew further questioned as to how the muster rolls can manage the duty deemed to be performed by the technical staffs. “Even the chowkidar is also one of the muster rolls,” he said while seeking clarification on the functioning of the farm.
Therefore, by appointing some staffs, it will also help those candidates who are in the waiting list to be recruited according to the respective category or the department should call for application of the same, Kharsytiew felt.
The director, however, informed the delegation that the department will look into the matter as of now there is no sanction from the government.- By Our Reporter
