Khongsit said that during discussions with the Post Office management, it was understood that it is the State Government’s responsibility to communicate with the Ministry of Communications and the Central Post Office regarding the implementation of the ‘Optional Language System’ for Meghalaya’s youth applying for all posts.

“These 445 posts have been allocated since last year for Meghalaya, but some remain vacant due to the lack of opportunity for applicants from the state to apply in Khasi, English, and Garo languages,” said Khongsit.

He added that during the meeting, it was revealed that there are 683 vacancies at various Post Offices in Meghalaya. The post office management has written to the Ministry of Communications and the Department of Post Office, Government of India, to implement the ‘Optional Language System’ for the Khasi-Jaintia and Garo communities.
