Now about 4,022 posts are being advertised which will result in strengthening of the posts of constables in Jammu and Kashmir Police Force.
Ending a wait of over four years, the Jammu and Kashmir Home Department has sent over 4,000 vacancies for police constable posts to the Services Selection Board, officials said on Tuesday. Constable posts in Jammu and Kashmir Police were last advertised in 2019. About 4,022 posts are now being advertised, which will result in strengthening the ranks of constables in the force, which is at the forefront of anti-terrorist operations in the Union Territory. , “This will go a long way in strengthening the capacity of law enforcement to effectively deal with various security challenges and maintain peace and order,” an official spokesperson said.
He said that this initiative will not only contribute to enhancing the overall security apparatus of Jammu and Kashmir but will also create employment opportunities for the local youth. Jammu and Kashmir Police was feeling the pressure of manpower shortage due to absence of recruitment at the constable level, which affected operational preparedness and delivery mechanism.
The spokesperson said that the recruitment process will be conducted soon by the Service Selection Board (SSB) for the candidates willing to apply for the recruitment process. He said the move also reflects the government’s resolve to create employment opportunities for the local youth, besides reaffirming its commitment towards strengthening law enforcement agencies and ensuring the safety of the people of the region.
