The Anti‑Corruption Bureau has summoned 552 candidates selected for the 2020 Jammu & Kashmir Fire & Emergency Services recruitment to undergo a height test as part of its probe.
The Anti‑Corruption Bureau (ACB) has issued summons to 552 candidates who were selected in the 2020 recruitment drive for the Jammu & Kashmir Fire & Emergency Services. The summons requires the candidates to appear for a height test, which is part of the bureau’s ongoing investigation into the recruitment process.
The ACB says the height test is a standard verification step to confirm that all selected candidates meet the physical criteria set by the service. The bureau has not yet disclosed whether any irregularities were found in the initial selection.
Candidates are expected to report at the designated ACB office in Jammu & Kashmir by the stipulated deadline. The bureau will use the results of the test to determine if any further action is required in the probe.
The recruitment of fire and emergency personnel is a critical public safety function, and the ACB’s scrutiny aims to ensure that the selection process remains transparent and merit‑based.
