The alleged recruitment irregularities at Sabarkantha District Central Cooperative Bank have come under fresh scrutiny, with demands for a high-level and impartial investigation into the selection process.
According to media reports, preparations are underway to approach authorities in Gandhinagar and Delhi with documentary evidence following the Diwali festivities.
The allegations primarily revolve around favouritism in appointments, the role of a private recruitment agency and claims that newly recruited employees were made permanent within just a few months of joining.
Those raising the issue have demanded a comprehensive inquiry into the recruitment process at both district and state levels. They have also called for an investigation into the roles of the bank’s officials and office-bearers involved in the appointments.
The demand further includes legal action against those found responsible for any irregularities.
The controversy has brought renewed attention to transparency, merit-based selection and nepotism in cooperative institutions. However, the allegations are yet to be independently established.
