Ganderbal, November 10: Renowned Campaigner, Social Reformer and Motivational Speaker Bilal Bhat has urged Mr. Amitava Chatterjee, Managing Director & CEO, Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd., to review and enhance the prescribed upper age limit for the recently announced recruitment opportunities for various posts in the bank.

Bilal Bhat said that revising the upper age limit would provide a fair opportunity to a large number of educated and deserving aspirants, particularly those in the 30–40 age group who have crossed the existing age eligibility criteria but continue to aspire for stable employment.

He observed that many such candidates have spent several valuable years preparing for competitive examinations and seeking government-sector employment. Due to increasing age-related restrictions, they are facing uncertainty and stress regarding their career prospects and livelihood sustainability.

He emphasized that age relaxation or an appropriate enhancement of the upper age limit would offer these candidates a renewed opportunity to compete, utilize their educational qualifications and contribute meaningfully to the institution and society.

Bilal Bhat expressed hope that the worthy MD & CEO, J&K Bank, would consider this genuine public concern sympathetically and take necessary intervention at the earliest in the larger interest of aspiring candidates across Jammu and Kashmir.

“Employment opportunities should remain accessible to deserving candidates, and age should not become an unnecessary barrier for those who still have the ability, qualification and determination to serve.”

He appealed to the concerned authorities to give this matter favourable consideration and provide relief to thousands of aspirants awaiting a fair opportunity.
