Aizawl, Aug 2 (PTI) Influential students’ body Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) demonstrated on Tuesday outside the office of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies in Aizawl, protesting against the re-employment of a retired officer under the state’s Cooperation Department.<\/p>\n
Lalrinsanga, who retired as the Additional Registrar of Cooperative Societies on superannuation in May, was recently re-employed by the government.<\/p>\n
The MZP members picketed to prevent him from attending office.<\/p>\n
However, the protesters left soon after they learned that the official was on leave for three days.<\/p>\n
On Monday, they held a demonstration in front of Vanapa Hall and burned a copy of the re-employment order.<\/p>\n
MZP president Lalnunmawia Pautu said Lalrinsanga had retired in May, and his successor Maria G Ralte also retired in July.<\/p>\n
He said that the students’ body is strongly against re-employment of any retired official, who does not have any speciality or distinction, as it hampers the chance for educated youth to enter government services.<\/p>\n
Re-employment or retention of retired officials is also a waste of public money, he said.<\/p>\n
MZP has decided to intensify its agitation, and demanded the state government revoke the re-employment order by Thursday.<\/p>\n
If the government fails to revoke the order, the MZP said it would picket before the officer’s workplace.<\/p>\n
It would also hold demonstrations to prevent state Cooperation Minister C Lalrinsanga from attending office on August 8.<\/p>\n
The minister could not be contacted for a comment despite repeated attempts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
