Police job aspirants vow to continue agitationsamuel joshua

The police job aspirants, who are denied recruitment due to Go 46, on Saturday, demanded that Attorney General attend the next hearing of their case on August 7. They said that their case challenging the GO 46 was adjourned 24 times.  
The order pertains to The Telangana Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulations of the Direct Recruitment) – contiguous district and zonal cadres. Issued in April 2022, the order is contentious among police job aspirants as the government directs that 95% of the posts to be filled by direct recruitment at any time in the said contiguous cadres.
The police job aspirants staged a protest at Prajavani on Friday, seeking a proper response from officials. They expressed their grievance to State Planning Commission Vice President G Chinna Reddy, who said, “We will look into it,” but failed to provide a serious response. This led the victims to continue their hunger strike at Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Praja Bhavan until midnight 3 a.m.
When asked, one of the aspirants, Ashok from Warangal, said, “We are protesting for a concrete response, but we keep receiving the same old reply, ‘We will look into it.’ If we accept this and leave, the High Court will proceed with adjournments with the absence of the AG.”
Ashok added that “All the 50 members had not eaten anything and stayed until 2.30 a.m. at Praja Bhavan. The police then took them to various bus stations and directed them to go home. Despite this, they protested on the opposite road at the State Secretariat, he added.
Later on, at the Secretariat, the police forcibly bundled them into a police van and whisked them away to Bandlaguda police station, where they spent the entire night till Saturday evening without food or water.
Ashok and the other victims vowed to continue their hunger strike until they receive a response regarding the Attorney-General’s attendance at the High Court. They also stated they would protest on roads and government buildings, regardless of police arrests. Askok also said, some victims were reportedly injured with rashes amd scars by the police, while forcing them to the station.
The aspirants declared they would continue their hunger protest until they get justice. At around 6.30 p.m. on Saturday, they were released by the police following a request from BRS leader Rakesh Reddy
