Chhattisgarh Police Aspirants Demand Filling of 1,940 Vacant Posts

The dispute centers on the District Reserve Police Force recruitment, which advertised 5,967 positions. RTI documentation cited by protesters indicates that only 4,367 spots have been filled. Candidates allege that the shortfall stems from a flawed selection method where individuals were simultaneously listed across multiple districts and waiting lists, effectively blocking others from entry.

Protester Raja Ratnakar claims the administration ignored prior warnings about these potential vacancies before results were finalized. Participants argue that a change in the selection process disrupted the standard hiring flow, leaving those who spent years preparing for the exams in limbo. While officials have reportedly attributed the issue to technical errors, the protesters maintain that the government must honor the original recruitment scope. They have vowed to remain at the site until the remaining 1,940 posts are filled, asserting that merit-based hiring should have prevented such widespread vacancies.
