An inquiry panel set up to examine alleged irregularities in Meghalaya's nurse recruitment has asked all shortlisted candidates to come forward and report any misconduct.
An inquiry panel has been constituted by the Meghalaya health authorities to probe alleged irregularities in the recent nurse recruitment drive. The panel’s mandate is to investigate complaints of procedural lapses and possible favoritism that surfaced during the selection process.
The panel has formally invited every candidate who appeared in the shortlist to appear before it and disclose any information or observations that may point to misconduct. Candidates are being asked to submit written statements or attend hearings, enabling the panel to compile a comprehensive record of alleged violations.
Officials said the step aims to restore confidence in the recruitment system and ensure that the final list of nurses reflects merit and fairness. The inquiry will examine documentation, interview records, and any whistle‑blower reports before submitting its findings to the state government.
Depending on the outcome, the panel may recommend corrective actions, including re‑evaluation of the shortlist, disciplinary measures against officials, or a fresh recruitment round to address any proven irregularities.
