Walk-in Interviews were scheduled for multiple vacancies at Mumbai for facility in Verna
PANAJI
Indoco Remedies Limited, a Goan pharma company listed on the country’s Stock Exchanges and having facilities at the Verna industrial estate, cancelled a scheduled recruitment through walk-in interviews at Mumbai after the State’s political establishment raised a hue and cry alleging denial of employment opportunity for locals.
The walk-in interview recruitment was purportedly for multiple vacancies at its facility in Verna and the company wrote to the State government that it had cancelled the process.
Sources said, the company wrote to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant conveying the decision to cancel the scheduled walk-in interview planned at Mumbai.
“Due to some unavoidable circumstances & your personal intervention, we are cancelling the above-mentioned walk-in interview planned at Boisar, Mumbai location,” the company said in a letter to Sawant.
Indoco Remedies has been one of the several pharma success stories in Goa and is promoted by the Margao-based Khare family group.
Earlier in the day, the Opposition in Goa had raised a stink over the issue accusing the company of wanting to deny Goans of employment opportunities because of which they said it planned to hold the walk-in interviews outside Goa.
The opposition leaders, including Fatorda MLA, Vijai Sardesai, had raised questions over the holding of interviews outside Goa for positions in the facility at Verna. The issue was also raised by the Revolutionary Goans Party (RGP) leaders demanding that the government intervene and take action.
