The candidates gheraoed the Tahsildar and revenue inspector and demanded them to issue the certificates at the earliest.

Tahsildar Sripal Reddy told media that there were no pending applications of EWS category with them and that a few applications were rejected as the candidates failed to submit documents as per the norms.
