Panaji: With an intention give justice to the youths of Goa, the Goa Pradesh Youth Congress Committee has filed complaint with the Director of Vigilance,

“Officers involved in conducting examination, preparation of result, examiner, along with the Officers of the PWD department are required to be summoned and inquired and matters are required to be initiated against the Officer involved in PWD Job Scam.” It further stated.
