Briefly: Physical test for cops postponed
Due to the ongoing budget session of the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly, the Himachal Pradesh Police has decided to postpone the police constable recruitment process scheduled in Shimla district. The recruitment will now be delayed until March 28, which coincides with the last day of the budget session. An official letter regarding this order has been issued by the Director General of Police (DGP) Dr Atul Verma to the Shimla SP. The physical efficiency test for the police constable recruitment was initially set to take place from March 11 to 22 at Police Lines, Bharari, with over 12,000 candidates expected to participate.
