Himachal Pradesh’s Chief Minister, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, has approved a one-year age limit relaxation for the recruitment of 1,226 police constables in the state. The decision comes as part of the state’s efforts to enhance its law enforcement and create opportunities for a larger pool of candidates. The initiative aims to increase the number of police recruits in the state, boosting both law enforcement capabilities and the state’s overall security infrastructure.
The relaxation in the age limit will particularly benefit aspiring police constables who are on the edge of the age bracket. The recruitment drive is set to improve manpower in the police force, helping address law enforcement challenges. With growing concerns over crime rates, including cybercrime, the state government is looking to expand the police force by making the recruitment process more inclusive. The relaxation will provide equal opportunities to people of different backgrounds, especially those who might have been excluded due to the strict age limits in earlier recruitments.
