Many youth who had lost their jobs because of the COVID-19 pandemic attended the ‘job mela’ organised by the Vijayawada Police and the A.P. State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) here on Saturday.
Aspirants from Vijayawada and neighbouring villages attended the mela, in which 17 companies offered employment.
About 21 candidates, who were involved in thefts, chain-snatching, ganja smuggling, and other cases, secured job in the recruitment drive,” said Vijayawada Police Commissioner Kanthi Rana Tata.
