Jobs on compassionate grounds in Barkatullah University (BU) are hanging in the balance due to the ongoing corona curfew. Deserving candidates are forced to wait for long as the decision will be taken about them only after the curfew ends.

Anamika Gurud after losing her husband Nitin Gurud in December 2020 has been waiting for the jobs on compassionate grounds since then. “I am told that my issue was put in the executive council. However, the corona curfew played a spoilsport as the meeting could not be organized after that,” said Anamika.

“I am waiting for the day the curfew ends so the witness process would start again,” she said.

As the situation about her is yet to be cleared, Anamika has launched a YouTube channel on cooking recipes hping to earn some bucks. “It is a small effort. The channel has been liked by several people. If it goes like this soon, I may start some earnings,” said Anamika.

Same was the situation with Saima. She had lost her husband Khalil earlier this year. “I think the process has been started but the corona curfew has turned out to be a big obstacle. I am hoping that the process will resume soon,” said Saima.

The EC had taken up the issue in the previous two meetings. “The decision was to be taken in the following meetings but the Covid has stopped the process as of now,” said a senior official of the university without quoting his name.

When contacted, BU’s registrar HS Tripathi said that 8 such cases were discussed before the curfew was imposed due to corona. “Out of them 4 has been appointed. Process was on for the rest of the cases but the curfew was imposed that has stalled the process. Once the situation clears we would be able to make decisions about other cases also,” said Tripathi.
