SRINAGAR, DEC 08: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday hoped the Jammu and Kashmir government will grant age relaxation to candidates for police sub-inspector (PSI) posts as recruitment has been delayed since 2019.
The former chief minister said age relaxation is a legitimate demand. “Countless JKPSI aspirants stare at a bleak future owing to recruitment delays since 2019 due to corruption & exam cancellations. Age relaxation is a legitimate demand & I hope it’s granted immediately,” Mehbooba said in a post on X.
She tagged Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in her post.
The written examination for the recruitment of police sub-inspectors was held in 2022 but the list of selected candidates was cancelled after allegations of irregularities surfaced.
A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe was ordered into the alleged irregularities and the agency has filed a chargesheet against 24 people, including a BSF officer, in the case.
