Lucknow, 15 June (HS): With the

Uttar Pradesh government handing appointment letters to nearly 60,000 freshly

hired police constables on Sunday, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav urged

that long-term measures such as regular recruitment campaigns be used to

address the police personnel deficit. In

post on X Yadav stated that long-term

actions, such as continuous recruiting campaigns, should be adopted to address

the police officer deficit since by the time the recruitment process is

concluded in 3-4 years under BJP leadership, 50,000-60,000 police officers will

have retired, leaving the gap unchanged. He said, Gold price crosses Rs 1

lakh: Symbolises distrust in other investments and economic

uncertainty. In these conditions,

the government should prioritize enforcement, as this will increase crimes such

as robbery, snatching, and stealing, particularly during times of high

unemployment.

He further said that robberies and thefts in jewellery shops

in Uttar Pradesh had escalated in recent months. As a result, frequent meetings

should be organized with gold and silver merchants to assess the security

situation. There should be nighttime

patrolling at bullion markets, along with proper CCTV camera setups. Yadav

stated that the backgrounds of private security guards and housekeepers should

be extensively verified to ensure that those with criminal inclinations do not

become guards, drivers, or assistants and infiltrate the security system. Gold has been taken from bank lockers in

recent years; as a result, Yadav believes that banks should make extra security

procedures. He also urged the people to stay watchful. Furthermore, security precautions should be

enhanced at wedding sites, hotels, train stations, bus stops, etc.
