Hundreds of sub-inspector aspirants on Thursday staged a dharna in front of the Manjira Guest house near the Chief Minister's camp office, demanding that the government increase the age limit for SI posts by 3 years, from 25 to 28.
Nearly 1,000 SI aspirants gathered near the Manjira Guest house. They were not allowed to meet the Chief Minister.
In protest against the refusal of permission to meet the CM, they staged a dharna in front of the guest house, raising slogans against the government.
They blamed the government for not conducting recruitments since 2008 after the notification was issued. They alleged that the aspirants had lost an opportunity due to the government's negligence.
The agitators demanded that the state government follow the guidelines of neighbouring states in this regard and relax the age for recruitments.
However, the SI aspirants later met Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy under the leadership of Backward Classes Welfare Association president R Krishnaiah, and submitted a memorandum in this regard.
The Chief Minister assured the aspirants that he would take a decision on the matter after a meeting with Director General of Police V Dinesh Reddy and the officials concerned. (INN)
