COMMENTS
Not more than 1 member of a family should be given employment in government jobs. Many times we find husband and wife both employed by government and earning a handsome income. Whereas there are umpteen number of families who do not have even a single member in government employment. They do not have any income and are leading a very tough life. Luxury of the first category mentioned above is at the cost of misery of the second category. This injustice to the second category has to stop forthwith. Employment of more than one member from the same family should be terminated forthwith and members from those families who do not have even a single member employed in government should be given the job in place of those terminated.
