The two-day state-wide constable recruitment examination concluded on Sunday without any major law and order issue despite large crowds at railway stations. The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board organized the examination.
Amitabh Yash, assistant director general of the law and order department, said in an interview on Monday that the police team remained on high alert to ensure that checks were conducted in a “fair manner”. He added that the exam was conducted “peacefully and successfully”. Meanwhile, in the past four days, police arrested a total of 224 people suspected of conducting “fraudulent activities” during the state police recruitment examination.
Photos circulating on social media platforms showed crowded railway stations in several districts with a large number of hopeful candidates waiting for their trains. Films and images captured the scenes of aspirants eagerly waiting to catch their train at the railway station. Candidates from different districts of Uttar Pradesh and neighboring states appeared for the examination held on February 17 and 18.
Crowded train platforms inconvenienced other boarding passengers, especially women and children, with many reporting difficulty reaching their designated platforms. However, apart from the chaos at Lucknow railway station due to crowding, there have been no reports of untoward incidents at other railway stations.The situation at Lucknow railway station was promptly handled by the police, officials said
on Monday.
Due to peak traffic, traffic chaos occurred on roads in some areas, resulting in temporary blockages. Police deployment and good management of roads helped clear the blockade quickly.
Despite the challenges, senior police officers said the inspection was carried out “efficiently”.
The Police Recruitment Board has adopted stringent anti-malpractice measures to ensure a smooth and fair examination process. Senior police officers were assigned the task and all examination centers were equipped with CCTV to monitor the entire process.
Notably, 16 people were arrested each in Etah and Varanasi districts, with the special task force actively involved in arresting people involved in “unfair practices”.
