We appeal to the Department not to disengage our services, but allow us to plead our case through department in the court of law,” the protesters told news agency CNS.They said that a competent police recruitment board made selection of more than 900 candidates as constable operators in 2009 after going through proper selection process that consumed 3 precious years of the candidates from the time of the publication of the advertisement notice. “Our only fault is that some disqualified candidates approached court and sought stay order on the selection list,” they said.They appealed Government to revoke the termination order and save their future.
