DYFI accuses KILA of irregular appointments and calls for inquiry

The Democratic Youth Federation of India has alleged that recruitment procedures were bypassed in appointments at the Kerala Institute of Local Administration, The Hindu reported. The youth organisation accused the United Democratic Front government of making “backdoor appointments” at KILA. It cited the appointments of two functionaries of the Muslim Students Federation as grounds for its demand for an investigation.

DYFI has called for a probe into the appointments and said it would organise a march to KILA on Thursday. The available report did not identify the two appointees, state the positions involved or provide the government’s response to the allegations. It also did not set out the recruitment rules that DYFI says were breached, or give details of the process through which the appointments were made.

The planned protest is intended to press the organisation’s demand for an inquiry into recruitment at the institute. The supplied material contains no independent confirmation of the allegations and no information about any action by KILA or the UDF government.
