When the municipality here advertised for 114 posts of 'safai karamchari' (sweepers), it had hardly imagined that 19,000 applications, mostly from BA, BSc, MA, BTechs and MBAs would come in. While officials of Amroha Nagar Palika are expecting yet more applications, the state government has ordered the selection process to be put on hold as organizations representing sweepers have protested, demanding the posts be reserved only for the valmiki community.
While no educational qualifications are required for the posts, municipal officials have been overwhelmed by the number of highly-qualified applicants so far. "The process of uploading application forms for all 114 posts is still going on and we have uploaded 5,000 of the 19,000 received. Most are graduates, postgraduates, BTechs and even MBAs," said Faiz Alam, Amroha Nagar Palika office superintendent, talking to TOI.
The posts do not require educational qualifications because the work involves manual labour like cleaning streets with brooms, maintaining drainage and municipal sewer lines. Candidates will be informed about the interview stage. The salary for each post is Rs 17,000 per month.
