906 qualified candidates appeal to government and police authorities for appointment
PESHAWAR: A group of 906 candidates from Peshawar district, who successfully qualified for various stages of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police recruitment process, have appealed to the provincial government and police authorities to accommodate them against 2,000 newly announced vacancies.
Addressing a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club on Wednesday, the candidates, led by Mubashir Khan of Faqirabad, along with Adil Khan, Muhammad Shiraz, Talal Ahmad Chaghar Matti, Mehran Khan and Sohail Khan, urged the authorities to consider their cases.
They appealed to Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi, Inspector General of Police Chaudhry Zulfiqar Hameed and Capital City Police Chief Dr Mian Saeed to resolve their long-standing issue.
Mubashir Khan said the candidates had successfully passed the ETEA test, interviews and other mandatory stages of the recruitment process initiated in 2024. However, they were placed on the waiting list due to the unavailability of funds in the Finance Department.
He said the candidates had been waiting for more than one and a half years despite fulfilling all recruitment requirements, adding that increasing age was creating further uncertainty about their future.
Talal Ahmad Chaghar Matti said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had announced 2,000 new police vacancies during his visit to Peshawar. He urged the government to accommodate the qualified candidates against these posts.
Mubashir Khan claimed that 93 waiting-list candidates had already been recruited, expressing hope that the remaining candidates would also be considered.
The candidates appealed for an early decision to enable them to serve the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
