Issue of fake caste certificate used to get government jobs in Chhattisgarh
The issue of fake caste certificate used to get government job in Chhattisgarh has been in the news for quite some time now. In the year 2021, a PWD executive engineer was suspended for using a fake Scheduled Tribe (ST) caste certificate.
Those protesting against the fake caste certificate used by candidates to get government jobs allege that no action has been taken by the department despite repeated demands and several such cases having come to light. Those protesting said that those with fake caste certificates enjoy all perks of the job without deserving it and yet the state commission refuses to take any action against such employees.
