There is good news for the ex-fire warriors of the Indian Army. They will get 20 percent reservation in Delhi Police, along with exemption from physical test and relaxation in age limit. Deputy Governor V.K. Saxena approved the amendment in Rule 9 of the Delhi Police (Recruitment and Recruitment) Rules, 1980. Under this amendment, special provisions will be made for ex-fire fighters in the recruitment of male constables (executive) in the Delhi Police.
As per the revised rules, 20 per cent of the total male constable (executive) posts in the Delhi Police have been reserved for ex-fire fighters. The decision will make it easier for youths who complete four years of service as fire fighters to join the police force.
Relaxation in age and relaxation in physical test
After amendments in Delhi Police recruitment rules, ex-firemen will get three years relaxation in age. They will also be exempted from Physical Efficiency Test (PET). This means they don’t have to pass physical tests like running.
5 years relaxation for first batch candidates
