Hyderabad, July 29
The Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board on Wednesday issued four notifications for direct recruitment to 7,437 posts.
These vacancies will be filled in the departments of Police, Special Protection Force, Fire, Disaster Response, Emergency & Civil Defence, and Prisons & Correctional Services.
In the Police Department, the notification has been issued for 3,697 posts of Constables (Civil) and 1,052 posts of Constables (AR). Vacancies of 148 Sub-Inspectors (Civil), 14 Reserve Sub-Inspectors (AR), 12 Reserve Sub-Inspectors (TGSP), three Reserve Sub-Inspectors (SARCPL), 23 Assistant Sub-Inspectors (FPB), 24 Police Constables (SARCPL), 20 Police Constables (Driver) PTO, and seven Police Constables (Mechanic) PTO will also be filled.
The second notification has been issued for recruitment of 1,380 Constables and 44 Sub-Inspectors in the Special Protection Force.
Vacancies of 751 Fire Fighters and 39 Station Fire Officers will be filled in the Fire, Disaster Response, Emergency and Civil Defence Department. In the Prisons & Correctional Services Department, 14 vacancies of Deputy Jailor (Men), one of Deputy Jailor (Women), 196 Warder (Male) and 12 Warder (Female) will be filled.
V. V. Srinivasa Rao, Chairman, TSLPRB, said in a statement that exact dates for submission of online application forms would be intimated in due course.
Desirous and eligible candidates may apply online in the prescribed proforma, which will be made available on www.tgprb.in after satisfying themselves of the eligibility requirements as given in the notifications.
He also advised candidates to have themselves examined by a Civil Surgeon before applying for the examination to ensure that they meet the prescribed physical and medical standards to avert disappointment at a later stage.
Earlier this month, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K. T. Rama Rao had demanded a notification to fill 20,000 police constable posts.
Rama Rao wrote an open letter to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on behalf of police constable aspirants, bringing to the CM's attention the demands and hardships of police constable and sub-inspector aspirants.
Stating that the unemployed youth of Telangana had been let down, KTR mentioned that the majority of the youth competing for police constable and SI examinations hail from poor and middle-class families in rural areas. Living away from their parents, they stay in PGs and hostels in Hyderabad for years, working day and night to prepare for these competitive exams.
He said the state government bears the responsibility of ensuring justice for these underprivileged youths rather than dashing their hopes.

Good move by TSLPRB but 7,437 posts is still far less than what is needed. Our police force is severely understaffed, especially in rural areas. Also, why no mention of special recruitment for women? We need more female constables and SIs for better handling of crimes against women.
I appreciate the mention of Fire Department and Prisons too. But will these notifications actually get filled this year or will there be endless delays like before? Many aspirants have wasted years. Also, the physical standards need to be realistic - not everyone can be a bodybuilder but still can serve efficiently.
From an outsider's perspective, this seems like a positive step. However, I hope the selection process is transparent and free from corruption. India needs to ensure merit-based recruitment in police forces. Also, good to see they're improving disaster response capabilities.
KTR's open letter hit the nail on the head. These poor kids from villages spend years in Hyderabad hostels preparing, spending their parents' hard-earned money. The government should expedite the process and also provide some temporary employment or stipend for these aspirants during preparation period.
Good initiative but why always constable-level posts? Where are the IPS and DSP-level recruitments? We need leadership from the bottom up. Also, the advice to get examined by a Civil Surgeon beforehand is very practical - saves time and money for both candidates and the board. 👌
