Written exam for Sub-inspectors put off in Haryana

Chandigarh: The HSSC has postponed the written examination for the Sub-inspector (SI), which was scheduled for August 29, because the date clashed with the AFCAT-2/2021 examination of the Indian Air Force. An HSSC spokesperson said the fresh schedule for the examination would be issued shortly. Candidates, who had filled applications both examinations, had recently met Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and requested him to postpone the Sub-inspector examination.” TNS
