The controversial Para 14, Clause F of 1975 Presidential Order has been deleted. A notification to this effect has been released by the Rashtrapathi Bhavan today. The Union Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs along with AP party affairs incharge Gulam Nabi Azad held a meeting at the Prime Minister's residence a couple of days ago to decide about the contentious 14f issue.
In the meeting it was decided to do away with the clause and the same was recommended for Presidential approval. Basing on the CCPA recommendation and demands from the people of Telangana, the President has approved deletion of 14f clause from the 1975 Presidential Order. With this, the way has been cleared for the AP government to conduct SIs' selection test as scheduled on 13 August. From now onwards Hyderabad ceases to be a free zone for recruitment of Sub-inspectors and the lower ranks.
