The Telangana government, in a proactive move, has empowered a search committee to expedite the appointment of a new chairman for the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC). The committee has recently shortlisted the name of M Mahender Reddy (Retd IPS:1986:TG), a retired Director General of Police, signaling a determined effort to swiftly finalize the appointments and enhance the functioning of the TSPSC.
The committee, led by Chief Secretary A Santhi Kumar (IAS:1989:TG) along with Law Secretary Tirupati and GAD Secretary Nirmala Devi, meticulously reviewed the applications received for the positions of chairperson and members of the TSPSC. Out of the 371 applications received, 50 were exclusively for the chairman post.
Following a thorough scrutiny, a singular name, that of M Mahender Reddy, has been shortlisted and forwarded to the Governor for approval. Once the Governor provides clearance for the appointment, a panel of additional members will be submitted for further approval.
M Mahender Reddy, having previously served as the Director General of Police in Telangana for four years, retired in December 2022. If appointed as the TSPSC chairman, he would hold the position for 11 months, as the maximum age limit for the chairman and members of TSPSC is set at 62 years.
