**Andhra Pradesh Unemployed JAC Calls for Delay in Police Recruitment to Prioritize Teacher Appointments**

**VIJAYAWADA, Andhra Pradesh – August 31, 2025** – The Andhra Pradesh Unemployed JAC (Joint Action Committee) is appealing to the state government to postpone the ongoing Police Constable recruitment process until the recruitment of teachers through DSC (District Selection Committee) appointments is finalized.

In a statement released Sunday, JAC State President S. Hemanth Kumar emphasized the potential conflict arising from candidates qualifying for both DSC teacher positions and Police Constable roles. He proposed a transparent mechanism, such as a public web note and the option to submit “unwilling letters,” to reallocate Constable positions surrendered by candidates opting for teaching roles. This, he argued, would benefit both groups by allowing individuals on the Constable waiting list to secure positions.

“Many of our candidates have worked diligently to qualify for both teaching and police positions,” Kumar stated. “By allowing those choosing teaching to surrender their Constable roles, we can create opportunities for others and ensure that no eligible candidates are left behind.”

The JAC also urged the government to refrain from carrying forward or merging unfilled Constable posts into backlogs, as this could delay future recruitment cycles and disqualify applicants due to age limitations.

Furthermore, the organization is advocating for an increase in the stipend provided to Police Constable trainees. They also appealed to the government to explore the possibility of reinstating Andhra Pradesh employees who were left in Telangana at the time of the state’s bifurcation.

The JAC leader said that the matter should be discussed with the Chairman of Andhra Pradesh State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB) for effective resolution. The JAC plans to engage with relevant authorities, including the Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB), to discuss these concerns and seek a favorable resolution. The situation will need to be monitored to see if they get a favorable response from the government.
