Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said here on Saturday that local people should be prioritised for jobs in factories established in and around Mysuru.
He was discussing issues related to industries with the factory managers and owners from Mysuru and surrounding areas and referred to the complaints by the locals of non-availability of jobs for them.
Mr. Siddaramaiah instructed the management representatives of various industries that the first priority should be to provide jobs to the local people. Only in case of non-availability of technically qualified people from the local population, should the jobs go to outsiders, he added.
