Anbumani wants age relaxation in recruitment of sub inspectors

PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss criticised the State government and the Tamil Nadu Uniformed Services Recruitment Board for the delay in posting the recruitment notification for sub-inspectors of police.

Due to the delay, several hundred youth have become ineligible to qualify for recruitment, Dr. Anbumani said, and urged the government to reduce the age limit for sub-inspector recruitment by three years.
