DYFI warns of Statewide agitations if government fails to notify 10,000 SI, Constable posts
The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) has threatened statewide protests if the government does not increase police recruitment to 10,000 posts. Protesters argue that the current plan to fill only 2,500 vacancies is insufficient given the high unemployment rate and the seven-year gap since the last recruitment drive.
Why it matters
This highlights growing youth frustration regarding unemployment and government recruitment policies, which could lead to significant civil unrest in the region.
Leaders of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) on Thursday warned the State government of intensified Statewide protests if it failed to issue a recruitment notification for at least 10,000 Sub-Inspector (SI) and Police Constable posts.
Addressing a protest organised by the federation at Dharna Chowk in Vijayawada, the youth organisation’s State secretary G. Ramanna alleged that the coalition government was playing with the lives and aspirations of unemployed youth and demanded that the government immediately issue a notification for the 11,639 SI and Police Constable posts that had been announced earlier.
Mr. Ramanna criticised the government’s reported move to issue a notification for only 2,500 posts, describing it as an “eyewash” given the large number of vacancies and the growing unemployment among youth.
