Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has drawn attention to grievances raised by a group of women who qualified under the 2021 Gazette for recruitment as Police Constables but have been denied appointments for more than five years.
According to the Opposition Leader’s Office, although preliminary examinations were conducted under the 2021 Gazette, medical examinations were not held, resulting in the loss of posts for the candidates.
The group recently met with Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa to present their concerns.
It was revealed that despite qualified candidates remaining under the earlier Gazette, the government has proceeded with recruitment through a new Gazette, which the affected group described as an injustice.
The Opposition Leader’s Office said detailed information on the matter has been gathered and will be brought to the government’s attention in due course. (Newswire)
