Beed police revise field test timings for recruitment drive

BEED: (Feb 13) Police in Maharashtra’s Beed district have revised the timings for their recruitment ground tests across the state, a move that follows the death of a 26-year-old candidate during the selection process.

The physical tests, which were earlier conducted during the day, will now be held in two sessions, from 5 am to 9 am and 5 pm onwards, to avoid extreme heat, the office of the district superintendent of police said in a release on Thursday.

The recruitment process for 174 police constable positions commenced at the Beed Police Headquarters’ ground on Wednesday. Similar drives are being conducted across the state.
