Home Minister Amit Shah, addressing newly appointed police constables in Lucknow, declared that Uttar Pradesh has transitioned from lawlessness to law and order under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. He emphasized the transparency of the recruitment process, highlighting merit-based selection and the inclusion of women.
Uttar Pradesh's police recruitment process, once marred by irregularities, has been transformed through political will, institutional reform, and technology. The government's zero-tolerance approach to cheating, exemplified by the 2023 Police Constable Recruitment Examination, led to the largest and most transparent police recruitment in India's history.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will also be present at the event, marking a significant boost to the state's law enforcement.
