Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday distributed appointment letters to 5,754 candidates under the Education and Power Department at a function held at the Veterinary College playground, Khanapara in Guwahati.

In a letter addressed to the Minister, AIMSA expressed "serious concern" regarding the NMC notice which requires FMGs to undergo compulsory onsite compensation for the online education undertaken during the pandemic period.

Vijayan said there is no anti-incumbency in the state, adding that the people hold a positive view of the government and its policies and believe only the current administration can take Kerala forward.

"No funds have been given under the Jal Jeevan Mission. Money has also not been allocated for the education sector, and even for the MGNREGA scheme. The people of Tamil Nadu are well aware of the lack of financial support from the Centre," he said.
