will give appointment letters to newly recruited constables of the UP Police in a grand ceremony in the state capital on Sunday. As many as 60,244 cops were recruited by UP Police, marking the completion of the largest single police recruitment drive ever undertaken by any state police in the country.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took stock of preparations at Sector 18 of Lucknow's Vrindavan Yojana on Saturday. According to senior officers posted at the DGP headquarters, the top 50 candidates will be handed over their appointment letters by Shah. All 60k-plus candidates have been invited to the event.
State DGP Rajeev Krishna, who reached the spot to review preparations, told TOI that the event will witness participation from ministers, MLAs, senior bureaucrats, and media representatives.
"Recruits from all 75 districts of the state will gather for the large-scale programme. Comprehensive logistical arrangements have been made to ensure the smooth arrival of candidates, especially those from distant districts, who will halt at designated intermediate locations before reaching the venue," he added that following the distribution of appointment letters, the recruits will undergo formal police training and be inducted as integral members of the Uttar Pradesh Police Force.

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 Rajeev Krishna as the director of the UPPRPB after the removal of the previous director, Renuka Mishra, following a question paper leak.
The state govt cancelled the written examination on February 24 and directed that it be re-conducted within six months. The written examination was then conducted in August 2024. Additional forces from adjoining districts Gonda, Kanpur, and Barabanki have already been stationed in Lucknow police lines along with senior officers. Security arrangements were reviewed by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, with special attention to nearby buildings and entry points.
