Amend age limit for applications for ex-servicemen in Punjab: SAD
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) ex-servicemen wing on Thursday demanded the Punjab government amend the age limit condition for ex-servicemen applying for selection as jail wardens.
Ex-Servicemen wing President Gurjinder Singh Sidhu said the Service Selection Board had wrongly fixed the age limit for ex-servicemen applying for the post of jail wardens at 35 years.

Besides demanding an immediate change in the age limit, Sidhu said the last date for applying for the posts should also be extended from the present May 31 deadline.
