Mr. TSG Bhasker, Campaign Committee Chairman, ANTCC (Andaman and Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee) has filed a Public Interest Litigation to safe 100% Reservation in Jobs within the UT of Andaman and Nicobar Islands for the Islanders.

The PIL is listed on thirteenth March 2023 within the Division Bench of the Circuit Bench of the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court at Port Blair.

The PIL is listed below the heading Motion. Mr. Bhasker has appointed senior Advocate Mr. Phatick Chandra Das (P.C Das) to argue his case earlier than the courtroom.

100% Reservation in Jobs for the residents of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is an outdated demand. No political social gathering opposes the demand for 100% Job Reservation for Islanders.

Recruitment for 500+ Group C Posts in Andaman and Nicobar Administration is underway, and 1000’s of non-Islanders have additionally utilized for the posts. Allowing 1000’s of non-Islanders to use for a couple of posts marketed by Andaman and Nicobar Administration has resulted in dissatisfaction among the many native youth, political events and basic public. 

Jobs are scarce within the Islands and the Govt. is the most important employer. The competition is that if mainlanders are allowed to compete within the recruitment examinations, then most Islanders could have no likelihood of qualifying as a result of a number of disadvantages. Islanders, particularly these hailing from distant areas, are deprived when it comes to the standard of training and different alternatives.
