Amid snow disruptions, JK Bank holding BA exam today, hundreds of aspirants career at stake

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Bank had put the hard work of hundreds of aspirants of Banking Associates in waste and their career in jeopardy by holding the exams on schedule on tuesday despite heavy snowfall which has disrupted road connectivity in Kashmir valley.

While the University of Kashmir and JK Board of School Education have postponed Tuesday’s scheduled examination due snowfall, the Bank has gone ahead with the exam.

According to news agency Kashmir Dot Com- (KDC) hundreds of aspirants from Kashmir valley are aghast at the bank for going ahead with the exams despite disruption in road connectivity due to snowfall.

The Valley has been receiving heavy snowfall since Monday which has closed highways and other internal roads of the districts.

The government has also sounded alert in hilly districts.

Aspirants said that this is callousness of the bank authorities to go ahead with the exam and it seems a way to facilitate exams of one region and deprive Valley aspirants of the opportunity.

“How can we reach exam centers on time when there is no transport due to heavy snowfall? We won’t be able to avail this opportunity despite us having spent months for preparation. It seems JK Bank is depriving Kashmiri aspirants of this job opportunity. There is a design in it,” several aspirants told Kashmir Dot Com.

The aspirants have urged LG administration to intervene and immediately defer the exams till weather improves in Kashmir. (KDC)
