Ruhullah Mehdi Seeks JKPSC Exam Postponement Amid Travel Disruptions
Srinagar, Dec 6, KNT: Member of Parliament Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi has formally urged the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission to postpone the upcoming JKPSC examination in view of widespread travel disruptions that have left many aspirants struggling to reach their allotted centres.
In a letter addressed to the Chairman of the JKPSC, dated December 6, 2025, Ruhullah said a significant number of candidates are facing serious difficulties due to the ongoing disruption in airline operations. He noted that frequent flight cancellations, prolonged delays and sudden rescheduling over the past several days have made it difficult for students to travel both within and outside the Union Territory.
The MP said several aspirants have conveyed that reaching their examination centres on the scheduled date may not be feasible under the current circumstances. He stressed that these difficulties are entirely beyond the control of candidates and proceeding with the examination as per the existing schedule could place a large section of aspirants at an unfair disadvantage.
Referring to the scale of inconvenience being reported, Ruhullah urged the Commission to objectively examine the possibility of postponing the examination to ensure that all candidates are provided a fair and equal opportunity to participate.
Expressing confidence in the JKPSC’s institutional credibility, he said the Commission is expected to give due consideration to the issue in keeping with its commitment to transparency and fairness in the conduct of competitive examinations. [KNT]
