Chhattisgarh Police Aspirants Protest Over 1,940 Vacant Recruitment Posts
Police aspirants in Chhattisgarh have protested for four days outside Home Minister Vijay Sharma's residence in Kawardha, demanding the filling of 1,940 vacant posts out of 5,967 advertised for the District Reserve Police Force. Protesters allege vacancies resulted from candidates being selected in multiple districts and delays in releasing a second selection list. Despite adverse weather, around 200-300 aspirants continue their agitation, seeking government action to fill all advertised positions.
