Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Friday has announced to increase the age limit by two years for recruitment to the posts in the State Police department. Following the implementation of a 95 per cent job quota for locals and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic over the last two years, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao agreed to MLC Palla Rajeshwar Reddy's plea to raise the upper age limit.

As a result, the Chief Minister has directed Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar and DGP M Mahender Reddy to take necessary measures in this regard immediately.

 

Hon'ble CM responded positively to the request of MLC Sri @PRRTRS who cited unprecedented 95% quota for locals and 2 years' of uncertainty due to #Covid19 for enhancing age limit. CM exhorted @TelanganaCS and @TelanganaDGP to initiate necessary steps in this regard.
