CM Bhagwant Mann hands over appointment letters to 1,746 Punjab Police constables in Jalandhar

Mann reiterated that recruitment has been conducted in a completely merit-based and transparent manner, ending the earlier system of “cash and recommendations.” He urged the new constables to serve the public with integrity, professionalism and commitment, and to actively address public grievances while ensuring justice and public welfare.

Highlighting future priorities, Mann said the Punjab Police will continue to be strengthened through modern technology, advanced investigation methods and specialised manpower to combat cyber fraud and organised crime. He said the state has already deployed anti-drone systems in border districts and will further upgrade surveillance and policing capabilities to meet emerging security threats.

CM Mann also briefly referred to the government’s broader employment record, noting that more than 63,000 government jobs have been provided after the Aam Aadmi Party came to power in March 2022.
