The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) had released the final result of GD Constable recruitment 2018 in January this year. It has been nearly a year since then and many candidates are still awaiting their appointment letters. Protesting against the delay, candidates from across the country assembled at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar and began an online campaign to attract the government’s attention.
They demanded quick action from the authorities to ensure timely appointments. Social media platforms like Twitter were flooded with posts demanding the appointment of candidates who had cleared the three-tier selection process.

Posting pictures and videos from the protest at Jantar Mantar, candidates claimed that they were not going to bow down. They demanded a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah to raise their concerns. Candidates said that there was no reason for SSC to delay appointments for those who had cleared the recruitment process and were declared medically fit.
