Those selected would be given admission on the basis of the merit list. The selection list was to be displayed in the second week of December.

Talking to this newspaper, officers on the condition of anonymity said that the preparation of the selection list was at a fast pace. But, the work was halted as the officers and employees are on strike.

“The process will not get momentum until the strike is over. It will take around 15 days to prepare even after the strike ends as a weeks gap will put a burden on all the employees,” they added.
