“UP, once known for riots and criminal rule, has become a model of law and order. The state is now riot-free, crime-free, and moving forward with a new identity of discipline and celebration. No one can mock or question our law and order anymore,” he added.
A day after women constable recruits protested over poor condition and lack of basic amenities in their barracks at the 26th Battalion provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) centre in Gorakhpur, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday inaugurated an 11-storey barrack tower and a 30-bed hospital in the campus.
Speaking at the event, the chief minister said earlier lakhs of police posts remained vacant and the previous governments failed to make the recruitment process transparent due to lack of intent. “Frequent irregularities and corruption led to court-imposed stays, leaving young aspirants disillusioned and directionless,” he added.
“Eight years ago, the state had the capacity to train only 3,000 police personnel at a time. Today, that capacity has expanded with over 60,000 trainees undergoing training simultaneously at 112 police training centres,” he claimed.
In the past eight years, 2.16 lakh personnel have been recruited in the UP Police without any favoritism or corruption, he said.
Just two months after taking office for the first time, he saw poor infrastructure during an inspection of the Lucknow Police Lines, he recalled. “Today, I am pleased to see significant improvements in infrastructure at every police station, police line, and PAC battalion in Uttar Pradesh,” the CM said.
“UP, once known for riots and criminal rule, has become a model of law and order. The state is now riot-free, crime-free, and moving forward with a new identity of discipline and celebration. No one can mock or question our law and order anymore,” he added.
