MP Khatana assures support to JKPSI aspirants on age limit concerns

Jammu, Dec 2: A deputation of Jammu and Kashmir Police Sub-Inspector (JKPSI) aspirants met senior BJP leader and Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, Gulam Ali Khatana at his Jammu residence.

The aspirants, who met him on Sunday, sought the MP’s intervention in securing age relaxation for candidates appearing in the recruitment process.

The deputation highlighted the grievances of candidates, emphasizing how several of them (candidates) were adversely affected due to age restrictions, which they believed were unjust in the context of delays and uncertainties in the recruitment cycle.

The aspirants expressed hope that their plea would be addressed, given the importance of providing opportunities to deserving candidates in a region with unique challenges.

Responding to their concerns, Khatana assured the deputation of his full support and said he would take up the matter with the relevant authorities at both the Union and the UT levels.

He emphasised the need for transparent and fair recruitment processes that accommodated genuine concerns.
