Telangana Group-1 job aspirants continued their protest for a second consecutive day at Gandhi Nagar Park in Ashok Nagar, demanding the state government to reschedule of the exam conducted by the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC).
The students cited the short-time window for preparation and GO-29 issued in February 2024, which tweaked reservation policy for hiring officers as reasons to postpone the exam.
Taking to social media platform X, one of the aspirants said that there is a serious issue with GO-29 and will have far reaching consequences. Over 14 cases are pending in High Court. “We are not ready to re-write mains exam. We are requesting rescheduling because of court cases. We wrote prelims three times already.”
Telangana CS holds video conference:
On Thursday, Telangana Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari held a video conference with TSPSC Chairman Mahender Reddy, members of the commission, collectors of Rangareddy and Medchal Malkajgiri to discuss the conduct of examination. The examination is set to be held from October 21-27.
Earlier in the day, the aspirants met opposition leader and BRS working president KT Rama Rao and relayed their situation to him.
On Tuesday, Telangana High Court dismissed a bunch of petitions and cleared the way for the exam.
