Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday accused the earlier state governments of making an attempt to play with the safety of the state by hatching a conspiracy to finish the PAC.
Addressing the passing-out parade of the recruits of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), Adityanath with out taking any names, stated “as a part of a conspiracy, there were efforts to end 54 companies. Today, when I see the splendid parade of the recruits, I myself am realising how a big conspiracy was hatched.”
“A despicable effort was made to stop these talented youths from joining the police force of the state and become a part of it, so that they can be prevented from serving the state and the nation,” Adityanath stated.
Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Awanish Awasthi informed PTI that in 2017 when the BJP authorities got here to energy, the police drive had solely 3 lakh personnel, and 53 firms of the PAC have been nearly with none males.
Adityanath stated that over 1.62 lakh youths have been recruited within the UP Police drive and PAC up to now 5 years.
He stated that the capability of the centres charged with coaching these males too have been enhanced, and steps have been taken to modernize the police drive.
“We all know that in 2017 after the new government was formed in the state, at that time, posts in large numbers in the police and PAC were lying vacant. In the past five years, over 1.62 lakh police personnel have been recruited, and the training programme has been taken forward,” he stated.
Adityanath stated that his administration has facilitated “infinite possibilities of job creation” within the state, and the “feeling of security” amongst folks is kind of clear in his rule.
“Today, the youth of Uttar Pradesh can say with great pride that I am a resident of Uttar Pradesh — the heartland of India. The way in which Uttar Pradesh has transformed its image through good law and order, it is being praised everywhere,” he stated.
In 1940 through the Second World War, 13 firms of UP Military Police have been raised to cope with inside safety and elevated to 36 firms through the battle interval.
The reorganisation passed off in September 1947 throughout which 11 battalions (86 firms) have been raised.
In 1948, the UP Military Police and UP State Armed Constabulary have been amalgamated into the Provincial Armed Constabulary.
The PAC was created to forestall frequent deployment of the Army in grave legislation and order conditions which the native police couldn’t deal with by itself. Even although it was meant to serve solely in Uttar Pradesh, the PAC has over the interval been deployed throughout the size and breadth of the nation. The PAC was renamed as Pradeshik Armed Constabulary in 1956.
