80 constable posts yet to be filled in Nagaland Police: Deputy CM Patton

Dimapur: Nagaland deputy chief minister Y Patton informed the Nagaland assembly on Monday that there are 80 unfilled vacancies in the ongoing police constable recruitment in the state.Replying to a question by MLA and adviser Tongpang Ozukum, whether some districts were unable to fill their allotted quota in the recruitment due to candidates failing the physical efficiency test, Patton said certain districts have indeed been unable to fill their allotted quota due to candidates failing the physical fitness test. Ozukum sought details on the total number of posts that remain unfilled. Replying to the query, Patton said Mokokchung has 43 unfilled posts, Longleng 1, Tseminyu 3, and Wokha 1, while Dimapur, Chumoukedima and Niuland together have 30 male and 2 female unfilled posts.
