Cop recruitment shining example of Yogi govt's resolve in ensuring fair, transparent hiring system
Lucknow: The distribution of appointment letters to 60,244 police constables on Sunday is a testament to the Yogi Adityanath govt's resolve of offering jobs to eligible candidates in record time through a fair and transparent system as well as a landmark step toward enhancing law and order in the state.
Officials said this was the first time such a massive recruitment drive in the police department had been conducted so smoothly in UP. Not only has the Yogi govt ensured a seamless recruitment process, but it is also setting a new benchmark by providing timely appointments and hi-tech training to selected candidates.
"Chief Minister Yogi's administration completed the recruitment of 60,244 constables to strengthen and modernise the police force.
The initiative has received national recognition for its technological innovation and transparency. The Direct Recruitment 2023 selected 48,196 male and 12,048 female candidates through the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board," said officials.
The examination saw 48.17 lakh applications, including 15.49 lakh from women. Conducting an exam of this scale was a significant challenge for both the administration and the recruitment board.

Takht Patna Sahib gives more days to Sukhbir, but asserts supremacy
Jalandhar: Takht Patna Sahib high priests have given 20 more days to Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal to appear before them, following a request by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Harjinder Singh Dhami. On May 21, the Patna Sahib clergy had declared Akal Takht acting jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj and Takht Damdama Sahib jathedar Tek Singh Dhanaula 'tankhaiya', and asked Sukhbir to appear before it. It also held that from now on, no directive from Akal Takht or from any other takht would be implemented at Takht Patna Sahib. The directive issued by the five granthis (priests) of Takht Patna Sahib on Saturday mentioned that on May 21, Sukhbir was asked to appear before the 'panj piaras' in 10 days and then a 10-day extension was given to him on June 1, but it ended on June 10. "Now, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami called up to request more time. After discussions, the Panj Piare Singh Sahiban (five priests) decided to give Sukhbir Singh Badal another 20 days. In case of violation of this edict, strict action would be taken according to panthic tradition," said the directive. The signatories to the directive include Takht Patna Sahib jathedar and head granthi Baldev Singh and additional head granthi Gurdial Singh, who were barred by Akal Takht on May 21 from 'panthic services' on the grounds that an earlier directive by Akal Takht on Dec 6, 2022, about them was not complied with. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Both high priests, along with three others, retaliated on the same day by declaring the jathedars of Akal Takht and Damdama Sahib 'tankhaiya' and summoned Sukhbir for "his interference and being a conspirator" in the whole affair. However, what can lead to even bigger and long-term ramifications is the part of their May 21 directive, which appears to challenge the supremacy of Akal Takht, clearly asserting that from now on, no directive from Akal Takht or from any other takht would be implemented at Takht Patna Sahib nor complied with. They emphasised that this part of the directive should be strictly complied with. This part of the directive is reminiscent of an edict issued on Jan 26, 2008, by the then Patna Sahib jathedar, Iqbal Singh, challenging the supremacy of Akal Takht (a concept widely accepted by Sikhs) and claiming that Takht Patna Sahib was supreme. Damdami Taksal chief Baba Harnam Singh Dhumma, while announcing opposition to acting Akal Takht jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj's address at Akal Takht on June 6 to mark an event to observe Operation Bluestar, cited the Takht Patna Sahib clergy's move to declare him 'tankhaiya'. Giani Baldev Singh and Gurdial Singh were invited and given prominence at the function held at the taksal's headquarters at Mehta Chowk on June 6. Both were made to stand alongside Darbar Sahib head granthi Giani Raghbir Singh when he addressed the congregation. Two others who were made to flank him included Darbar Sahib granthi Palwinderpal Singh, a former student of taksal, and a representative from Takht Hazur Sahib. Baldev Singh also addressed the congregation. The May 21 directive issued by Akal Takht also explicitly mentioned that Baldev Singh was not fit to render services at Takht Patna Sahib or in the panthic sphere. Both priests were asked to appear at Akal Takht and present their side. They were barred from rendering 'panthic services' until then. The Akal Takht directive also directed Takht Patna Sahib management committee to appear at Akal Takht and present its side. However, when the Takht Patna Sahib clergy hit back on May 21, it also 'directed' the management committee there to not appear before Akal Takht.

West Asia conflict, oil spike put investors on edge
New York: Israel and Iran launched fresh attacks on each other into Sunday, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israeli strikes would intensify as Tehran called off nuclear talks that Washington had held out as the only way to halt the bombing. Oil prices rose 7% on Friday, as Israel and Iran traded strikes, and investors will be watching closely to see how the price reacts when markets open later. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks Undo "So far we are at a stage of 'controlled confrontation'", said Lombard Odier's chief economist Samy Chaar, where it is too soon to call for real and persistent economic damage despite high risk. On Saturday, Israel appeared to have also hit Iran's oil and gas industry for the first time, with Iranian state media reporting a blaze at a gas field. Israel's air offensive against Iran that began early on Friday, killing commanders and scientists and bombing nuclear sites in a stated bid to stop Tehran building an atomic weapon, knocked risky assets, including stocks, on Friday. It also lifted oil prices and prompted a rush into gold and the dollar, which resumed its role as a safe-haven asset for the first time in months.

Shah: Goons don't dictate terms, UP has transformed under Yogi
1 2 Lucknow: Union home minister Amit Shah Sunday said here on Sunday that under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath , Uttar Pradesh has shed its legacy of lawlessness and UP has seen a remarkable turnaround. Speaking at an event at the Defence Expo Ground in Lucknow to hand over appointment letters to 60,244 police constables selected in the country's largest-ever police recruitment drive, Shah said: "Goons no longer dictate terms in the state. The rule of law has been established. It is now our mission that within the next five years, we will create a system where an FIR is followed by a verdict from the Supreme Court within three years. " Shah termed the event a "historic ceremony" for Uttar Pradesh Police. Shah praised UP's transparent police recruitment process, and emphasized that no bribes, recommendations, or caste-based bias were involved unlike the previous govts in the state. "Each of you was selected purely on merit from over 48 lakh applications," he told the recruits. Over 12,000 women have joined the force, with Shah commending their confidence and readiness. He also personally handed over appointment letters to 15 constables. He lauded the state's decision to reserve 20% of posts for women, noting that over 12,000 of the recruits were women. "When I met some of the young women today, their confidence and determination were written all over their faces," he said. "Uttar Pradesh now has the largest police force in the country, equipped with command centres, AI-based tools, PCR vans, and on-wheel forensic labs. He urged the new officers to uphold the modern policing ethos of security, service, and sensitivity," he said. Shah credited CM Yogi Adityanath for restoring law and order in UP. "Before 2017, the state's law and order was in decline but since Yogi ji took charge, UP Police has touched new heights," he said. He pointed out that police modernisation in UP was stagnant from 2014 to 2017 but transformed post-2017 with Modi-Yogi governance synergy. Highlighting three new criminal laws, Shah said these reforms would ensure that citizens receive justice from FIR to the Supreme Court within three years. "You are not just joining a force — you're becoming the face of justice, security, and empathy in 'Amrit Kaal'. Be strict with criminals, but a protector to the poor, backward, and tribal communities," he said. A total of 60,244 constables, including 12,048 women, were recruited by the UP Police recruitment and promotion board (UPPRPB), which received more than 48 lakh applications. The recruitment process was completed under the then director of UPPRPB Rajeev Krishna, who is currently the director general of police. With the Sunday's inductions, the total strength of the force now reached nearly four lakh personnel, which includes around 36,000 women personnel. This strength covers all non-gazetted ranks across various wings of the police, excluding home guards, and marks a significant push toward modernising the police force, a senior police officer added.
