and Kashmir Government for not showing serious concern towards the
problems being faced by youths.Addressing a delegation of more than
250 unemployed youth from various districts of J&K, Nimrandeep Singh

youth and employment generation.

the youth are facing serious consequences due to lack of job
opportunities in the Jammu and Kashmir. He said that it is a cause of
serious concern that the unemployed youth whose age has crossed 30,
having any least opportunity for government job. He mentioned that

maximum age limit for applying this job is 28 which is sheer injustice
with the unemployed youth of Jammu and Kashmir, who have not provided
a single opportunity since the outbreak of Covid pandemic.

of Sub Inspectors should be 35 years of age. The justification of
fixing the maximum age limit to 28 is injustice with the unemployed
youth,” he said. The youth who have waited for job opportunities in
government services and the fixing age limit for them which has no
justification in the prevailing circumstances in J&K, he added.
