The second phase of recruitment for forest guard and field guard posts in Burhanpur district was held on Saturday, 24 October 2026. Of the 41 candidates called, 38 appeared and three were absent. Three candidates were disqualified during document verification. All candidates underwent biometric thumbprint identification to prevent irregularities. Candidates from all categories were required to walk 25 kilometres. Burhanpur SDO Vinay Kumar Meshram said the forest department team oversaw the entire process. The final result is expected within a few days.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The biometric verification and physical test aim to filter candidates before the final result. The three disqualifications and three absentees reduce the pool for the remaining stages. The process is being conducted by the forest department with district administration support. The next milestone is the result announcement within days, which will determine who advances further.
