Gurukul PET recruitment: Aspirants stage spontaneous dharna at TSPSC office in Hyderabad
Tension prevailed as unemployed youths staged an impromptu dharna in front of the Telangana State Public Service Commission near Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad on Thursday
HYDERABAD: Tension prevailed as unemployed youths staged an impromptu dharna in front of the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) near Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad on Thursday demanding recruitment for the Gurukul Physical Education Training (PET) posts.
The aspirants, who appeared for the examination conducted by the service commission, demanded the TSPSC to honour the High Court directions in this regard and immediately fill up all the vacant PET posts in the State.
Displaying placards and raising slogans, they rushed towards the gates of the TSPSC from Gandhi Bhavan’s side resulting in a severe traffic jam on the busy Nampally road. Police used force to disperse the agitators and took a few into preventive detention to clear the traffic.
The PET aspirants said that the Telangana Government had assured them of taking up the recruitment in a 1:2 ratio after conducting the examination. But it retracted from its decision seeking refuge behind a High Court’s judgment, they lamented. Since the High Court had delivered its verdict, clearing the way for issuing appointment letters, they demanded that the TSPSC take up recruitment immediately.
Many women candidates who took part in the dharna alleged that the police manhandled them and the Abids ACP Purnachander Rao had abused them in a filthy language.
