Generally you give exams to secure your job, but Haryana youths are climbing Mt. Everest to get employment in Haryana police force. In 2010, then chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda sparked the trend when he appointed Everest climber Mamta Sodha a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and rewarded 21 lakh. Since then, at least 15 young men and women from a state known for its prowess in the boxing and wrestling ring have climbed the mountain in the hope of getting a police job.
But the climb, one of the harshest in the world, proved easier than the reward. Of the 15 successful climbers, 12 have been denied the DSP job by Haryana authorities. Most of these people are from rural areas, and have spent anywhere between 17 to 22 lakh on the expedition. These people were allegedly promised these permanent government jobs if they perform the great feat. They first approached their village leaders to pressurise local MLAs to convince the chief minister. When that didn’t work, one of them approached the Punjab and Haryana high court, which decided in his favour on Tuesday. Now, four more have moved the court that will hear their plea on Friday.

Narinder Singh from Kuru kshetra, who had climbed the Everest in 2011 along with 4 other climbers, had been appointed to Sub inspector positions in 2013 but they declined the offer. Five more climbers tamed Mount Everest but the government rejected their demand for a DSP position again. One of them, Ram Lal from Fatehabad district, moved the high court that directed the government to give him the DSP position and 21 lakh award in three months last week. In 2013, the government had replicas relojes españa decided to reward Rs 5 lakh to Everest climbers in 2013 — if the aspirant didn’t hold a government job — but did away with the policy last year.
