IO_AdminAfrica6 hours ago6 Views

Swift Summary

  • Job aspirants for drivers and conductors in North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC) protested over recruitment changes in Hubballi on June 17, 2025.
  • Originally, NWKRTC issued a notification in 2019 to recruit 2,814 posts. After tests conducted till 2024, this was reduced to only 1,000 approved posts.
  • Subhash Singh Jamadar, convenor of the agitation committee, called the decision “sheer injustice.” Aspirants have approached over 50 legislators and officials including Union minister Pralhad Joshi for reconsideration.
  • NWKRTC clarified that a fresh notification will be issued for an additional 1,000 driver-cum-conductor openings following approval.
  • The Transport Minister has reportedly responded positively to addressing the issue.
  • Protesters warned of further agitation involving their families if demands are not fulfilled by July 25.

Indian Opinion Analysis

The ongoing protest reflects dissatisfaction among job seekers due to perceived disparities and a delayed recruitment process spanning several years.While NWKRTC’s clarification of future opportunities may soothe concerns temporarily, the lack of job creation commensurate with initial notifications raises questions about planning and resource allocation. North Karnataka’s aspirants allege unequal treatment compared to other regions-an issue that could escalate further if not resolved inclusively. Timely intervention by policymakers is crucial both for equitable job distribution and maintaining trust in governance processes.
