Amidst demand to postpone the recruitment examination for the post of police sub-inspectors, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Monday announced that it would be postponed by a month.
While it was scheduled for December 23, he said it would now be held on January 23, 2024. The issue was raised by BJP member Basanagouda Patil Yatnal during the Zero Hour in the Legislative Assembly. He sought at least six months for the candidates to prepare. Members cutting across party lines also demanded that the exam be postponed.
The Karnataka Examination Authority is conducting the re-examination for recruitment of 545 police sub-inspectors after the Karnataka High Court upheld the government’s decision to cancel the earlier examination in which large-scale irregularities allegedly took place.
