Nagaland Cancels Health Worker Recruitment After Court Order
The government in Nagaland had to stop hiring people for 61 healthcare jobs because of a court order.
The court said the rules about who is allowed to apply for these jobs weren't clear enough.
So, the government needs to fix the rules to make them clearer within 45 days.
After the rules are updated, they will start the hiring process again.
This means that the exam people took on February 24th is canceled, and there will be a new one later.
Nagaland Staff Selection Board cancelled recruitment for 61 health posts.
The cancellation follows a directive from the Gauhati High Court.
The court ordered amendments to the Nagaland Nursing Services Rules of 1988.
