- MUKESH RANJAN @Ranchi

Candidates for the posts of constable in the state excise or police department would no longer have to run for 10 kilometres as part of the physical test in the exam.

The decision was taken during a Cabinet meeting chaired by CM Hemant Soren on Wednesday, in which as many as 31 proposals were okayed.
