Sitting on the
footpath at the Basheerbagh-Koti stretch, K Kiran Kumar was looking for
some help to return to his native place. The youngster from Medak
district has literally ended up on the streets.
The
Police Training Centre officials had earlier cancelled the training
session of Stipendiary Cadet Trainee Police Constables (SCTPCs), since
there were cases booked against them for participating in a protest,
demanding release of selection results which were due for over two
years. 15 youth from across the state had arrived in Hyderabad
about a month back to lobby with political leaders and other important
personalities, to get some relief for their plight. But with no solution
in sight and all their money at an end, they are now cooling their
heels on footpaths and public parks in the city."I joined the
training centre hoping to become a policeman. I reported on April 18 and
trained till April 24. Suddenly, officials cancelled my session and
asked me to leave the centre, for protesting against delay in results of
constable selections. While many of the colleagues are undergoing
training, I have nowhere to go," Kiran Kumar told Express.Even as
the Central Administration Tribunal (CAT) made it clear in a case that
selection boards can recruit candidates even when they are involved in
criminal cases, the respective Superintendents of Police (SP) directed
training centre officials to send them away. The Service Selection Board
had conducted the selection process in 2008 and results were released
in 2010."Training centre officials cancelled our training telling
us we were involved in protests demanding immediate release of results
which have been delayed by more than two years," dejected candidates
coming out of the training centre said. N Vittaiah is the first from his
family to get a government job but his joy was short-lived. "It was my
childhood dream to become a policeman. With great expectations, I had
joined the training centre. But only after three days of training,
officials asked me to leave the centre. It came as a shock," said
Vittaiah.
