Thus the visa-voce was conducted from May 22 to May 27, 2013. The result of viva-voce was declared on March 3 this year. After that on July 15 this year, a notice was issued asking the candidates to submit some documents to the state police headquarter. However, the process of collecting the required documents have been postponed indefinitely following another notice. After that the selected candidates urged the concern authority to issue their appointment letters on or before July 25. However, there is no response from the concern authority till date, according to the Association.
Besides this, the association has submitted memorandum to Deputy Chief Minister, Home Secretary, DGP Manipur and other concerned authorities. He further said that the candidates have been waiting for the said job for more than 3-4 years.
So, the government should re-think for a positive response as soon as possible to address the grievances of the candidates.
