Mizo Students Protest Outside Mizoram Public Service Commission, Demand Recruitment Reforms
Hundreds of members of the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) protested outside the Mizoram Public Service Commission (MPSC) office in Aizawl, demanding administrative reforms and increased manpower to improve recruitment processes. The student body criticized the One Time Registration (OTR) system, alleging it caused candidate disqualifications due to incomplete document uploads, and called for its replacement with post-specific applications and offline document submission opportunities. MPSC officials defended the OTR system, stating it simplifies applications and ensures fairness. The protest was largely peaceful with a brief scuffle when officials tried to enter.
