LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath
, in the same event said the mass recruitment and appointment letter distribution ceremony for 60,244 constables marks not just a milestone in strengthening the state police force but is also a reflection of a changing India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 11-year leadership at the Centre.
Speaking at the event held at Defence Expo Ground in Lucknow, the CM said, 'This event is taking place at a time when India is witnessing transformational change in governance, service delivery, and empowerment under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. The system now ensures benefits of government schemes reach the last person without discrimination.'
Calling it a historic occasion, Yogi Adityanath said the state government had provided over 8.5 lakh government jobs in the last eight years.
'This very event of distributing appointment letters to 60,244 newly recruited constables is a shining example of how recruitment can be fair, timely, and entirely merit-based,' he said.
He also credited Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his guidance and continued support. 'In 2017, when we began police recruitment, the then BJP national president and now Union Home Minister Amit Shah had assured full support. He facilitated training capacities by allowing the use of military and other states' facilities.

Today, we have developed training infrastructure within UP itself to accommodate 60,000 new recruits annually,' the CM noted.
Model Police Force in the Making
Yogi Adityanath said police recruitment in Uttar Pradesh has gone hand-in-hand with structural reforms aimed at building a modern, people-friendly force. 'We have not just filled vacancies but worked on transforming the force into a model police system,' he said.
Highlighting forensic modernization, the CM said that under PM Modi's vision, UP established a State Forensic Science Institute in 2021, which became functional in 2023.
'Three new laws—Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023—are justice-centric and backed by scientific and forensic advancements,' he said.
'Eight new forensic labs have been set up and are operational, while six more are under construction. Additionally, 22 mobile forensic labs have been deployed in districts with support from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs,' he added.
All 75 districts now also have cyber police stations and cyber help desks across 1,984 police stations.
Inclusive and Transparent Process
The chief minister stressed that the entire recruitment process was carried out with complete transparency, giving equal opportunity to candidates from all backgrounds. 'Whether from a Dalit, backward, or poor family, whether a son or a daughter — everyone had an equal chance. Today's event is proof that daughters and youth from the most disadvantaged sections are now an integral part of the UP Police force.'
He emphasized that this recruitment is not just about numbers but about 'building trust in the system, ensuring security, and transforming governance.'
Gratitude and Commitment
CM Yogi also extended gratitude to the parents of the recruits. 'I congratulate not only the youth but also their mothers and fathers. Your dedication and faith have contributed to this day,' he said.
He concluded by urging the new constables to serve with honesty and commitment. 'As part of the largest police force in the country, your service will not only protect the 25 crore people of Uttar Pradesh but also strengthen national security. Make this opportunity count.'

Pentagon dismisses 'pizza index' in connection with Israel's attack on Iran, says they have 'sushi, sandwiches, coffee'
Pentagon dismisses pizza index report of June 13 when Israel attacked Iran and said they don't need to order pizza from outside. A Pentagon spokesperson reacted to the Pizza delivery index of June 13 when Israel launched military attacks in Iran and said they do not need to order pizza as there are many pizza options inside Pentagon and also they have sushi, sandwiches, donuts, etc. So, in a bizarre tracking, a surge in pizza orders around the Pentagon was noticed when the attack took place. "Nearly all pizza establishments near the Pentagon have experienced a HUGE surge in activity," the X account of Pentagon Pizza Report said. The account's post included screenshots of Google data showing the popularity of pizza joints in Washington, D.C. Domino's, District Pizza Palace and We, the Pizza were all dramatically above what was typical for that time of the day. The Pentagon Pizza Report also said a gay bar close to the Pentagon had "abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night" as Israeli strikes were underway. How are pizza orders linked to major geopolitical events The Pentagon Pizza Index, also known as the Pentagon Pizza Meter, is a quirky, unofficial theory suggesting that surges in pizza or takeout food orders to government buildings like the Pentagon, White House, or CIA can signal impending major geopolitical events or crises. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The idea is that when government officials and staff work late into the night on urgent matters—such as military operations, coups, or international conflicts—they order quick, convenient food like pizza to sustain long hours in the office. The concept traces back to the Cold War, when Soviet intelligence reportedly monitored food delivery patterns to U.S. government buildings as a form of open-source intelligence (OSINT), dubbed 'Pizzint' (Pizza Intelligence). According to The Guardian, deliveries of pizzas to the Pentagon doubled immediately before the 1989 US invasion of Panama and the 1991 Kuwait liberation campaign called Operation Desert Storm. The Takeout, a food and culture site, reported in January that while there are a number of eateries in the Pentagon—where almost 30,000 people work each day, according to Arlington National Cemetery Tours—it doesn't have its own pizzeria. Pentagon dismissed the spike reported this time and said they have plenty of pizza options inside and the timeline set out by the Pentagon Pizza Report did not align with the events, Newsweek reported.

NY court jails 6 NRIs in $15 million hawala case
1 2 Ahmedabad: A group of six Gujarati men, all living illegally in the US, were convicted of running a hawala network. They were found guilty of illegally moving nearly $15 million between the US and India over a period of six months in 2023. Their final sentencing, ranging from 12 to 27 months, was delivered by a New York federal court on June 5. The mastermind, Hirenkumar Patel, 40, was sentenced to 21 months in prison. He earlier pleaded guilty to participating in 42 cash deliveries amounting to over $7.7 million across various locations on the US East Coast. According to case details, the group moved the money between Feb and Sept 2023, using an informal transfer system that relied on physical cash deliveries and the use of informal brokers to transfer funds to designated recipients in India without the money physically leaving the US. Officials said the accused collected large amounts of cash from individuals in the US, which was then delivered to customers of a vendor operating on the dark web. This vendor converted cryptocurrency into cash for clients, the top ones being hackers and drug dealers. None of the six Gujaratis had licences to operate a money-transmitting business under federal or New York state law. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with the US Postal Inspection Service and the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Kentucky, led the investigation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Rajendrakumar Patel, 52, received 27 months in prison; Brijeshkumar Patel, 32, was sentenced to 18 months; Naineshkumar Patel, 51, received 12 months and one day; Nileshkumar Patel, 33, was sentenced to three years of probation, while Shaileshkumar Goyani, 36, received a sentence of time served.
