Despite securing the top spot in the ranklist and receiving commendation from the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC), 38-year-old Soumya Nanu N finds herself entangled in a bureaucratic web desperately seeking her appointment letter for the position of ayha at the Model Residential School.
Ms. Soumya has decided to go on an indefinite strike outside the District Scheduled Caste department at the collectorate demanding immediate action to end the delay. Despite vacancies being reported in the ranklist issued in December 2023, the department officer now claims there are none, she added.
Ms. Soumya said her inquiries for the appointment order have been met with a bureaucratic runaround. The department officer claims to await instructions from the Directorate of Scheduled Castes Development. However, upon contacting the directorate directly, Ms. Soumya is redirected back to the officer, who insists there are no vacancies.
