THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The validity of the civil police rank list which ended a few days back will not be extended. The list of 13,975 persons in seven battalions was valid for one year. The old list cannot be extended as the fresh list for new recruitment to these battalions is coming within three months. Even if the old list is extended, it will be cancelled when the new list comes.

Meanwhile, all the candidates who protested in front of the secretariat for 62 days went back today. They themselves removed the protest platform in front of the secretariat and the flux boards asking for appointments. They said the government had not kept its promise and would continue their legal battle. The protestors alleged that the government and PSC adopted a brutal approach and did not make appointments despite vacancies.

They burned the slips of complaints filed in Navakerala Sadas for appointment. They also burnt boards with the category number '530/2019' and 'Rest in Peace' written on them.
