The Konyak Union has expressed concern over the detection of six proxy candidates during the ongoing oral interview stage of the Nagaland Police recruitment process in Mon district.
In a statement, the Union said the incident had caused concern among aspiring youth participating in the recruitment process. It emphasised the need for the selection procedure to remain fair, transparent and free from malpractice, particularly at a time when many educated youths are seeking employment opportunities.
The Union urged all Konyak youths to remain sincere and disciplined, and to pursue success through merit-based competition. It also discouraged practices such as proxy participation, cheating or other dishonest means, stating that such actions undermine the dignity and integrity of society.
While expressing concern over the incident, the Union also acknowledged that the state government has been making efforts to ensure a free, fair and transparent recruitment system.
It said that maintaining honesty, sincerity and integrity – values long emphasised by the community’s forefathers – was important for the younger generation.
The Union further urged the District Level Selection Committee (DLSC) in Mon to address such cases in accordance with the relevant laws and established procedures.
At the same time, it appreciated the DLSC chairman, secretary and officials under the office of the Superintendent of Police in Mon for their vigilance and commitment in maintaining fairness during the recruitment process.
The Union also appealed to the DLSC to continue exercising due diligence so that only deserving and qualified candidates are selected, stating that such measures would help uphold public confidence in the recruitment system and strengthen the quality of personnel serving the state.
