Tamil Nadu leaders demand exam centers within the state
Edappadi K. Palaniswami and T.T.V. Dhinakaran criticized the Central government and Southern Railway for assigning exam centers in Telangana for most Tamil Nadu candidates. They urged that centers be located within Tamil Nadu for the upcoming Assistant Loco Pilot recruitment. Palaniswami expressed concern that about 90% of the 6,315 successful candidates from Tamil Nadu were given centers outside the state. He highlighted the difficulties this creates for candidates traveling to distant locations for their exams. Dhinakaran echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the need for the Central government to address the issue. Both leaders called for immediate action to ensure exam centers are available within Tamil Nadu.
