Students Association writes to Home Minister on age relaxation

Srinagar, Dec 29: The Jammu and  Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Sunday has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, seeking a one-time age relaxation for aspirants of the Jammu and Kashmir Police Sub-Inspector (JKPSI) recruitment process, a press release said.

The association has urged the Home Minister to raise the upper age limit to 32 years, ensuring fairness and equal opportunity for hundreds of aspirants who have been adversely affected by delays in the recruitment process.

Nasir Khuehami, National Convenor of the Association, said that the current upper age limit of 28 years, specified in the latest recruitment notification, has disqualified many hard-working and deserving candidates. These aspirants have been preparing diligently for the opportunity but have been left ineligible due to unforeseen delays caused by court cases, administrative issues, and the disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
