Port Blair, March 28: The National Students Union of India's State General Secretary, Shri. Saurav Nair on Monday wrote a letter to the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri. Narendra Modi highlighting the job issues being faced by youths of A&N Islands.

Nair requested the Prime Minister to immediately fill up 9,000 vacant government posts under A&N Administration which is pending since many years. He requested to provide 100% job reservation for Islanders as done in the case of Union Territory of Ladakh. He also urged to consider 5 years age relaxation for all new govt. recruitment.

He exhorted that, future government jobs in A&N Islands should be provided on permanent basis instead of present contractual basis of 6 months or 1 year period considering the job security of Islanders. He also requested the Hon'ble PM to consider the genuine requirements of the Islander youths and do the needful on urgent basis in order to secure the youngsters from going in the lines of crime or suicide.
