Govt withdraws 70 posts of J&K Gazetted Police Service from PSC

The government has withdrawn 70 posts of Jammu and Kashmir Police (Gazetted) Services of the total 141 vacant posts earlier advertised for recruitment through J&K Public Service Commission (PSC).

Now, the PSC would recruit only 71 Jammu and Kashmir Police (Gazetted) Service officers instead of 141.

The aspirants of J&K Civil Services were preparing to appear for preliminary examination which was tentatively scheduled to be held in the last week of June or first week of July 2021.

The General Administration Department (GAD) communication about the withdrawal of 70 posts in J&K Police’s Gazetted Service has disappointed many among them.

The decision comes at a time after a number of them had got a one-time age relaxation.
