Karimnagar lab technician merit list has errors, alleges association leader

Karimnagar: Telangana Medical Lab Technician Association State Working President Aftab Ahmed Khan has alleged that the provisional merit list for Lab Technician (LT) posts under the National Health Mission (NHM) is riddled with errors. The Karimnagar district medical and health department officials released the list.

Khan spoke to the media in Karimnagar on Friday. He said, with evidence, that a review of the list released on Thursday reveals many errors. These include multiple entries of the same candidate’s name and mistakes in the counting of the numbers.

Same names repeated across serial numbers

Khan said the name of CH Naresh (father Narsayyah) appears five times in a row, from serial numbers 59 to 63. The name of S Raju (father Sammayya) appears four times in a row, from 124 to 127. B Madhusudhan (father Lingayah) is listed twice, at serial numbers 98 and 99.

Those raising the issue expressed anger that the same candidates’ names appear multiple times. They said this was evidence of negligence in the recruitment process. They also strongly objected to the release of the merit list without even identifying duplicate names.
