Delhi LG Approves 20% Reservation for Former Agniveers in Fire and Prison Jobs
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has approved a 20% horizontal reservation for former Agniveers in recruitment for fire operator roles in Delhi Fire Services and warder and matron positions in the Prison Department. The order includes age relaxation of three years, with up to five years for the first batch of Agniveers, and allows departments to decide on physical test relaxations. This follows the central government's policy for ex-Agniveer rehabilitation, with provisions if suitable candidates are unavailable.
