Youth from Dakshina Kannada not interested in police constable posts: G Parameshwara

The Home Minister says that not even 10% applicants are from the coastal district during recruitments.

Bengaluru:  Home Minister G Parameshwara expressed displeasure over youths from Dakshina Kannada not coming forward
to take up police constable posts.

Responding to a question by BJP MLC Kishore Kumar Puttur in the Legislative Council on Thursday, the Home Minister said that not even 10% applicants are from Dakshina Kannada during recruitments. 

The minister said that constables posted to Dakshina Kannada are from North Karnataka districts and they struggle to learn Tulu.

“I really don’t understand why youths from Dakshina Kannada are not interested in taking up police constable posts. Those appointed from other districts struggle to learn the language and after a period they request to go back to their hometown,” he added.
