Patna, 21st Oct. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday directed DGP Alok Raj to expedite the recruitment of 78,000 police personnel in anticipation of the state assembly elections scheduled for next year. At an event where appointment letters were distributed to 1,239 newly recruited sub-inspectors, Kumar expressed the urgency of the matter.
“I am telling you, complete the process for the recruitment of 78,000 police personnel in the next six months,” he urged DGP Raj, highlighting the need to bolster the police force ahead of the elections. Currently, the Bihar Police has a strength of 1.10 lakh, and the CM aims to double it to 2.29 lakh.
The recruitment process for 21,000 personnel is currently underway, with formalities completed for an additional 20,000. Kumar emphasized the importance of including women in the police force, stating that 35 percent of new recruits should be female. He noted that the number of women in the Bihar Police has increased to about 30,000, asserting that no other state has as many women personnel.
“The appointment of women police officers is making it easier for female complainants,” Kumar remarked, asserting that the law and order situation has improved significantly since 2005. He pointed out that the division of police work into investigation and law enforcement has led to more efficient operations.
Kumar also reiterated his commitment to job creation, noting that his government had promised 10 lakh jobs in 2020, with 7.16 lakh positions filled so far. He underscored the police force’s crucial role in the state’s development and urged them to maintain their responsibilities effectively.
In closing, Kumar congratulated the newly appointed sub-inspectors and wished them success in their future endeavors.
