As the fifth MLA from 34-Aghunato Assembly Constituency in 62 years, he highlighted the contributions of numerous bureaucrats and officers from the area, naming several who have served in key positions across various departments and brought laurels to Aghunato, an update stated.

Zhimomi underscored the vast opportunities available in the government sector, pointing out thousands of vacancies waiting to be filled exclusively through competitive examinations.

He ruled out any backdoor entries or political appointments, ensuring a merit-based process for all. “Exams are open to everyone. If you aspire to become an officer or achieve greatness, study wholeheartedly,” he said, inspiring them to prepare diligently and seize these opportunities.
