City police recruitment drive gets a comic twist

How is this for a job call? ���Arrey khala apne bachon ko tayyar karo, kaiku khali pele unko chabutharon pe baithre? Raat tamaam, din tamam khali pili time waste kar rahe hai. Police min bharthi karao, desh ki suraksha kartha, ek kabil insaan bantha, pehle mahiney mein 16,500 ki taankha hai,��� says popular Hyderabadi comedian, Akbar-bin-Tabar, in a special promo shot to encourage Hyderabadi youngsters to sign up for the ongoing recruitment drive in the twin cities.
���Police boletho pachas logon mein ek nahi hotha, 50 logo ko sambhal ne wala hi police hai. Tankha bhi zardast hai, CI, SI, jo banna hai bansakthe, exam dena padtha bas,��� goes another jingle. These innovative promos are being aired in local channels to draw youngsters to sign up for the recruitment.
Actor and producer, RK who has also shot for the promos explains, ���We just tried to spread the message to the masses in quintessential Hyderabadi style. We generally tend to be a little laid-back, so we just tried to find a quirky way to getting them out of the inertia. It is a great opportunity and we are glad to have been called to do our bit.���
With 2,357 vacancies up for grabs in just the Twin Cities, the city police, in an unprecedented move, have roped in the services of popular Hyderabadi actors to spread the word. Police Commissioner of Police Anurag Sharma says the idea is to spread the word of the recruitment drive among the youngsters in the city.
���The general perception among the public is that a police job comes with some inherent risks. While that is true, it is also a very noble profession and can be extremely gratifying. With so many vacancies left in just the Twin Cities, we wanted to send out the message in a novel way through these actors who enjoy a great following in the city,��� says Anurag Sharma, adding that March 16 is the last date for filing of applications.
