It is increasing If there is a decrease then it is only in railway vacancies That too when lakhs of posts are vacant, I never thought that the condition of railways would be in such a bad state! #RRBNTPC_VACANCY_INCREASE“
मंहगाई बढ़ रही है , जमीन की कीमतें बढ़ रही है !

Another user expressed displeasure that the recruitment, which occurs every five years, has decreased its vacancies. “Railway NTPC Recruitment: ● 2019: 35,281 posts ● 2024: 11,558 posts ◊ Cut: 23,723 posts Waiting for 5 years and giving only a few thousand posts is a betrayal of the future of the youth. This cut is a severe blow to their dreams of employment. #RRBNTPC_VACANCY_INCREASE” he said.
