GUWAHATI, May 23: Hojai Sub-division Students Union has sent a letter to the director general of Doordarshan in connection with appointment of two technicians for the two low-power transmitters (LPT) at Lumding and Hojai under the Doordarshan Maintenance Centre in Dimapur. A section of Doordarshan employees have expressed deep resentment over, what they termed, nepotism in Doordarshan appointments.
The vacancy for two technicians at Lumding and Hojai LPTs under Doordarshan Maintenance Centre in Dimapur was advertised two years ago. Written test and interview was conducted on May 12 last by the AIR chief engineer posted in Kohima in absence of a station director in Dimapur. 14 candidates appeared in the interview and two of them, both relatives of people already working under Doordarshan, have been selected. One of the selected candidate’s relative, who is already working for DD in Guwahati, is so powerful that he obtained the offer of appointment proposal which is normally delivered by post. The fact that both the selected candidates are related to some Doordarshan personnel raised suspicion among fellow employees who also noticed that the relatives of the selected candidates are prominent leaders of some associations of Doordarshan employees. In this backdrop, a forum of Doordarshan employees also have raised a demand for immediate halt of technician recruitment process.
