Over 3,600 vacancies will be filled, says Chinarajappa

Home Minister N. Chinarajappa on Monday announced that notification would be issued soon to fill about 3,600 vacancies in the Police Department.

“Efforts are on to renovate the police quarters all over the State with all facilities. As part of strengthening the department, we have already recruited 6,000 personnel in the last four years and a fresh notification will be issued to fill the remaining vacancies,” he said while speaking to the media after visiting the Bhavanarayana Swamy temple at Sarpavaram in the city.

Expressing satisfaction over the law and order situation in the State, Mr. Chinarajappa said that the government was not compromising on strengthening the police department. Latest infrastructure and facilities were being provided to the personnel, even as the financial situation was not so encouraging, he said.

“We have made a special focus on the traffic wing now and the idea is to minimise the number of road accidents in the days to come. The traffic wing is expected to create awareness among the public,” he said.
