Jagran Correspondent, Karnal: The Haryana government has approved a proposal for the recruitment of 4,000 constables, with the recruitment drive scheduled to begin in November. The decision comes after several applicants were unable to participate in the earlier recruitment drive for 5,500 constable posts.
According to Haryana DGP Ajay Singhal, the police recruitment process is progressing steadily. Last year, 1,600 women were recruited as part of the 5,500 vacancies. The ongoing recruitment for another 5,500 posts is being conducted through the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC). Following this, recruitment for an additional 4,000 constables will be launched in November, with 20 per cent reservation for Agniveers.

DGP Singhal also said that an e-Zero FIR system has been introduced to ensure immediate action in cybercrime cases. Complaints can now be acted upon as soon as they are received. So far, 22 gangsters have been successfully extradited, he added.
