The three-member recruitment committee headed by DIG (Traffic) Tariq Masood Yaseen finalised the list early this month. The ‘successful’ candidates have since then been visiting the Central Police Office and the police lines daily but no date has yet been set for their medical examination.
Under the rules, each recruit must be sent to a government hospital for a final medical examination. Appointment to the department is subject to a fitness certificate issued.
One of the selected candidates, requesting anonymity, complained that nobody was forthcoming with a definite schedule and fearing that they could miss out a career opportunity, the recruits were forced to visit the offices daily.
DIG Yaseen confirmed that the list assigning candidates to the hospitals where they would be examined had not been displayed so far. He said the delay was on account of other recruitment work. The administration, he said, was currently processing the recruitment of 90 constables in the patrolling police. Once the patrolling police hiring was complete, he said, the staff will assign hospitals for the candidates’ medical examination.
