Chandigarh : Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh today ordered filling of 4,000 police vacancies across ranks, while directing the department to ensure that 2,000 police personnel are recruited every year to fill the vacancies arising annually out of the routine retirement of cops.
Chairing a meeting of Home and Police Department officials here, the Chief Minister said recruitment would carry forward the sweeping reforms being undertaken in the Police Department such as diversion of personnel from VIP duty.
His government, said Capt Amarinder, was committed to providing jobs to the unemployed youth, with at least one job in each household, as promised in the run-up to the Assembly elections.
The Chief Minister also directed the officials to ensure that police officials were allowed a free hand to work within the ambit of law, while also taking care to ensure that no vindictive action was resorted to by the cops at any level, right from the lowest rung at the police stations.
