Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao announced in the Assembly on Monday that the cut-off mark in the written test for the police recruitment would be reduced to SC and ST candidates as it was done for other categories.
The announcement came after the issue was raised by Congress Legislature Party leader M. Bhatti Vikramarka as part of the short discussion on Central Electricity Bill. He also requested the government to extend monsoon session of the Assembly after September 17 so that issues such as crop loss due to rains and floods could be discussed.
Offering to examine the request, the Chief Minister said even if it was not possible now the winter session could be held for 20 to 25 days to discuss all issues threadbare. On the agitation of Village Revenue Assistants (VRAs), the Chief Minister said they were doing it due to misgivings and misinformation. He stated that pay scale and retirement age for them would be finalised soon.
