On July 20, 2019, the exam for fifth-level administrative positions to be filled at the local level were conducted by the Public Service Commission(PSC) at Diktel Multiple Campus based in the district headquarters.


The duo got bruises on their backs after police attacked them to force them out of the exam hall following their effort to foil the exam.


They had tried to foil the exam as part of the NEFIN’s protest program against the PSC’s announcement of vacancies for different administrative positions to be filled at the local levels without taking into the constitutional provision of quota system aimed at ensuring proportional representation of all sections of society in the administrative structure.
