On Wednesday evening, the cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, approved the request for increasing the age limit.
It has been said that the upper age limit for various government posts and entry into the service has been increased. Earlier, it was 32 years, but it has been increased to 42 years.
However, this will not be applicable in the uniformed services (where there is a physical ability test) like police, forest, civil service, fire service etc.
