Over 250 candidates, who had made it to the panel for recruitment of constabulary in Assam,
stormed into the Guwahati High Court precincts today and shouted slogans in favour of their appointment. The candidates, who had staged a dharna at Dispur yesterday in protest against the delay in their appointment, threatened to go for self-immolation if they were not appointed soon.

Meanwhile, the HC bench of Justice Ranjan Gogoi and others found serious lapses in the recruitment procedure of Nagaon district during the scrutiny today. During the scrutiny many vital documents, including register of candidates, list of selected candidates and many other relevant documents were found missing.
