Haryana government has decided to start the process of recruiting 7,298 posts for police constables, wherein 5,500 will be for men and 1,100 for women.
Moreover, for the first time in the state, 698 lady constables for Haryana’s First Women Battalion named Durga-One Battalion will also be recruited.
Candidates who are from the financially weaker section will get five years relaxation in age.
Earlier in August 2019, Haryana Staff Selection Commission had issued an advertisement for the recruitment of 5,000 police constables (male) and 1,000 constables (female). That advertisement was withdrawn to give an opportunity to the candidates belonging to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) to apply for these vacancies, said a spokesperson.
Haryana government has recently provided reservation in government recruitments to EWS candidates and CM Manohar Lal Khattar had given an assurance during the previous Assembly Session that EWS candidates shall be given an opportunity to apply for posts advertised earlier. Nearly 5 lakh youth have applied for the posts.
