Police Recruitment: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced a landmark recruitment drive, stating that 60,000 positions will be filled in the state’s police department. This large-scale hiring, unprecedented in the state’s history, is set to take place after Rakshabandhan, with 20% of the positions reserved specifically for women.
Police Recruitment: Focus on Empowering Women
CM Yogi emphasized that the inclusion of women in the police force is intended to strengthen their role in law enforcement, ensuring they can effectively handle miscreants. The move is part of a broader effort to enhance the representation of women in the workforce.
Political Implications
The announcement comes at a critical time, with Uttar Pradesh set to hold assembly elections soon. Unemployment has been a major issue in the state, and the opposition, led by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, has targeted the government on this front. The Yogi administration’s recruitment plan is seen as a strategic move to counter these criticisms and gain public support.
Police Recruitment: Judicial Developments
Simultaneously, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court has directed the preparation of a new selection list for the appointment of 69,000 teachers, bypassing previous lists from 2020 and 2022. This development adds another layer to the state’s employment and education landscape.
