CM announces police recruitment board, vows to end Naxalism by 2026
Bhopal: CM Mohan Yadav on Friday announced the formation of the Madhya Pradesh Police Recruitment Board to speed up hiring and make the process more transparent. At present, such recruitments are carried out through the Staff Selection Board, Bhopal, that he said often takes longer than needed.
Speaking at the state-level Independence Day medal distribution ceremony here, Yadav said the board would take charge of all recruitments from 2026. For this year, the Staff Selection Board will conduct the process. The CM said 7,500 vacancies had been cleared this year and a total of 22,500 posts would be filled in three years, with 7,500 appointments annually.
He reaffirmed his govt's commitment to make the state free from Naxalism by March next year, under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah.
He praised police successes in tackling dacoits, Naxalites, cyber fraud, illegal arms, cow smuggling and drugs, and cited welfare measures such as a new police hospital, the Disha Learning Centre, and Rs 1 crore ex-gratia for families of personnel killed in action.
Besides, he announced that widows and children of martyrs from the police, jail, and civic security depts would be given a reservation in an additional seat in all undergraduate courses under various priority categories. Additionally, deputy superintendents of police and above, along with security personnel deployed on VVIP duty, will receive special and risk allowances under the Sixth Pay Commission.
Yadav met and felicitated all medal-winning officers, employees, and their families. He reaffirmed the govt's full support for the modernisation of the police, jail and civic security depts, pledging no compromise in resources.
