TDPL and JSSC-CGL will be investigated
The government has also decided to investigate all the examinations conducted by TDPL and the matter related to JSSC-CGL. The minister said that these cases will be investigated by the state's investigating agency CID.

Target to complete investigation in 90 days
On the JSSC-CGL issue, the government said that the results of the examination were released following the guidelines of the Supreme Court and appointment letters have also been given to the candidates. Many of these candidates have been working for about a year.
