1K women among 7,200 to be recruited in Haryana Police dept

Around 7,200 police personnel, including 1,000 women, will soon be recruited in Haryana Police department. This time, written examination will be conducted in the recruitment process whereas only five per cent marks will be kept for interviews so as to ensure complete transparency, said Haryana Director General of Police YP Singhal on Monday.

He said in the recruitment process, 95 marks out of the total 100 marks would be of physical test and written examination while the interview would carry only five per cent marks. 

The selection would be completely transparent and Radio Frequency Identification Device would be used during the physical test, he added.

State’s top police officer said the working of the Police department would witness an unprecedented transformation in the coming three years. With the selection on merit basis, the efficiency of the department would improve considerably, he added.

For the first time ever since the inception of the State, the State Government has decided that 50 per cent of the compound fees collected by the Traffic Police would be spent on traffic education or traffic resources, said he, while adding that presently, large numbers of deaths in the State were caused due to tragic road accidents but with this step of the State Government, these figures would reduce  significantly.

He said 500 additional motorcycles would be added in the Police department so as to further strengthen the traffic system in the State. Singhal further said that, with a view to provide housing facility to the police personnel, about 3,000 new houses would be constructed. The increase in resources of the department would help in improving the functioning of the police, he added.
