Chief Minister of uttarakhand mr. bhuwan chandra khanduri had made people of state unemployed by banning on vacancies for two years. The person who will become above 35 years of age during these two years cannot fill any competition form and he became unemployed for lifetime. I request to the chief minister Bhuwan chandra khanduri please break this ban and please make people employed. Uttarakhand state is made by the people of garhwal for having more resources, employment in the state. But there is no much like this. It shows that uttarakhand is a poor state. This is the great hierarchy for the unemployed people.
