Ampati: Two student organisations in South West Garo Hills, Meghalaya, have urged the district police chief to expedite the issuance of domicile certificates for minority indigenous tribal candidates seeking to participate in the upcoming Border Security Force (BSF) recruitment drive.
The Hajong Students’ Union (HSU) and the Meghalaya Koch Students’ Union (MKSU) submitted a joint memorandum to Superintendent of Police, Vikash Varma on Thursday, stressing the need for a fast-track process under a “Fastrack Program” for applicants.
According to the unions, delays in providing domicile certificates have created significant obstacles for aspirants, potentially affecting their chances in the BSF’s special recruitment rally for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates in Meghalaya.

In the representation, HSU president Bapu Hajong and MKSU president Kandarpa Koch appealed for simplified verification measures for genuine tribal applicants to ensure timely certificate issuance.
The organisations expressed confidence that the police authority would act promptly in the interest of minority indigenous tribal communities ahead of the recruitment schedule.
