The police deployed at the site had to use mild force to clear the blockade. Several protesting youth were also detained but later released.
The demonstrators said they had applied for recruitment in the border battalions some years ago but till date, the written examination had not been conducted. We have been waiting for the written test for last three years but despite repeated requests and appeals, no notification has been issued by the administration, said one of the protesters.
The protesters also expressed resentment over the recent re-advertisement of the posts by the police recruitment board and demanded its withdrawal. “It is grave injustice.
