NALBARI: Ex-servicemen have demand immediate appointment under Prevention of Infiltration of Foreigners (PIF) scheme.

The State Government had advertised in 2017 to fill up 223 posts in different departments under PIF scheme. In August, 2018 selection test for 113 sub inspectors' post was conducted. But the government has not yet taken any step to appoint the selected candidates. During the last two years, number of vacant posts under PIF scheme has become more than 600. The ex-servicemen have urged the government to hasten the appointment process and increase the age bar to 54 years instead of 50 years.
