Haryana players seek 3% job quota in all departments
Sportspersons from the state held a demonstration seeking 3% job quota in all departments instead of only three — sports, police and education. As a symbol of peace, they were holding roses in their hands.
The protesters said the Haryana Government had limited the eligible sports person (ESP) quota of 3% in Group-C recruitment to only three departments. In this context, a letter was issued on behalf of the Chief Secretary on November 24 last year. As per the letter, the recruitment will be done through the CET and there will be no post in Group-C of sports quota. To eliminate the sports quota indirectly, it was limited only to three departments. They demanded that the 3% quota should be implemented in all departments.
