The stand-off between the state government and the students protesting against the decision to conduct recruitment tests for the posts of sub-inspectors (SI) of police across the state ended on Friday, with the government being forced to postpone the examination scheduled for December 18th and 19th. The postponement announced by the government comes as a breather to the agitating students, and to the people across Telangana region who were kept on tenterhooks by the adamant attitude of both the parties involved.

Addressing a crowded media meeting at the Secretariat on Friday, Home Minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy said, "Keeping many aspects in view including the interests of the unemployed aspirants, the government has decided that the much-awaited SI test should be postponed." The Home Minister also admitted that the SI exam should be held in a an amiable atmosphere and that the government was not adamant in that regard.
