Six SPOs hurt in cane charge
I WONDER : IF U R PHYSICALLY FIT THEN WHY SEEK RECRUITMENT WITHOUT PHYSICAL TESTS...??????
At least six special police officers (SPOs) protesting outside the CRPF Group Centre at Bantalab were injured when the police resorted to a cane charge to disperse them today.
As many as 250 SPOs, a majority of them had come here from Doda, Rajouri and Poonch districts, were protesting in support of their demand of recruitment without any physical test. The protesters blocked the Bantalab road around 11 am and raised slogans against the government.
“We are already serving in the Police Department as SPOs, so we should be exempted from the physical test for recruitment in the CRPF,” Abdul Jabbar, an SPO from Doda, said.
Bishnesh Kumar, SHO, Domana police station, said: “We requested the protesters to disperse from the road to allow vehicular movement, but they didn’t budge. We had to use a mild cane charge and nobody was injured.” Bishnesh said they tried to pacify the protesters, but the latter were in no mood to leave the road.Earlier this week, seven persons, including a personal security officer (PSO), of the Domana SHO, were injured when candidates at the BSF recruitment camp, mostly SPOs, clashed with the police at the Janipur check post, demanding jobs even after not clearing physical test.
