HYDERABAD: Tension prevailed in Dilsukhnagar on Thursday after police allegedly detained Telangana State Unemployed JAC leaders ahead of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s visit to Vanasthalipuram as part of the Van Mahotsav programme.

The JAC alleged that the leaders were detained following intelligence inputs that unemployed youth and police recruitment aspirants might stage protests during the Chief Minister’s movement through the LB Nagar–Dilsukhnagar route.

The unemployed candidates expressed dissatisfaction over the government’s reported decision to fill only 5,000 police vacancies despite nearly 20,000 posts allegedly remaining vacant. They said police job aspirants across the State were agitated over the issue and demanded that all vacant posts be filled.

The JAC condemned the alleged detention of its leaders and demanded their immediate release. The organisation warned that it would announce further protest programmes if the detained leaders were not released.

The unemployed candidates also demanded that the upper age limit for recruitment be increased to 36 years, issues related to the long jump event in police recruitment be resolved, and GO 46 be withdrawn
