Disabled candidates in soup over KPTCL’s stringent rule on scribes
In a move that will discourage thousands of visually and physically challenged candidates from competing for the 1,498 government jobs, KPTCL has introduced a rule that makes it difficult for such candidates to get scribes.
Officials said the stringency was introduced in the wake of the PSI recruitment scam.
In February last year, Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) invited applications for a total of 1,498 posts, which included positions of assistant engineer, junior engineer and junior assistants.
As many as 90 posts are reserved for the visually challenged, those with locomotor disability, cerebral palsy and other category students of benchmark disabilities.
