SI aspirants barge into T cong meeting

Eleven candidates aspiring for the posts of sub-inspector of police were taken into police custody on Sunday after they tried to barge into a meeting of Telangana Congress leaders being held at Exhibition Grounds in Nampally.

The aspirants allegedly wanted to confront the Congress leaders on the delay in getting Hyderabad moved from the free zone to Zone VI for recruitment in police department by amending the clause (f) of paragraph 14 of the Presidential Order of 1975.

Under the order, the state is divided into six zones for employment and clause (f) pertains to Hyderabad. It declares Hyderabad as a free zone, giving equal rights to people from all parts of the state to apply for government jobs.

The protestors expressed fear that further delay in making the amendment and holding the recruitment exam might render them ineligible for the test owing to the age ceiling. “We have taken 11 of the protestors into custody and later let them off,” Begum Bazar police inspector G Shyam Sunder said.
