Job seekers protest at Telangana Police recruitment Board

A large group of job seekers gathered at the Telangana Police Recruitment Board on Monday, June 29, and demanded that the Government Order 36 be repealed.

Videos shared on social media showed the protestors being detained amid “Scrap GO 36 ” slogans. Speaking to media, the Saifabad Police said that four protestors were detained under Section 170 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Surksha Sanahita to



prevent the protestors from committing cognizable offences.

Angry demonstrators demanded that the proposed police recruitment vacancies be raised from 5,000 to at least 20,000 posts. They sought immediate decision on the upper age limit for police recruitment. The prolonged delay in issuing recruitment notifications has resulted in many candidates crossing the existing age eligibility criteria.
