THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The DYFI took out a march to the Local Head Office of the State Bank of India here on Friday in protest against the bank's move to reappoint retired hands.

I.B. Satheesh, State secretariat member of the DYFI, who inaugurated the march, deplored the reappointment of retired hands at a time when the number of the educated unemployed was swelling. It amounted to the implementation of the Centre's recruitment policy through the back door, he said.

Mr. Satheesh charged the Centre with trying to privatise the public sector undertakings under it when States, including Kerala, were strengthening the PSUs under them. As part of it, the Centre was abolishing posts, refraining from inviting applications for permanent posts, resorting to contractual appointments even in essential services and reappointing retired hands.

Mr. Satheesh held the Centre's policy squarely responsible for the increase in unemployment.
