Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala has intervened to facilitate the appointment of 43 candidates included in the Sub-Inspector rank list that is set to expire on June 9.
The minister directed the Additional Chief Secretary (Home) to take urgent steps to ensure that the candidates do not lose their opportunity for appointment due to the expiry of the rank list, according to a statement issued on Saturday.
The rank list for the Sub-Inspector examination, conducted by the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC), was published on June 9, 2025, and is scheduled to expire on June 9, 2026.

After coming to know about their plight, he urged the officials concerned to take immediate action and ensure that eligible candidates are not deprived of employment opportunities.
Chennithala also assured the candidates that no deserving person would lose a job opportunity, it added.
The intervention has now paved the way for the appointment of 43 candidates to the post of Sub-Inspector, the release added.
