Lucknow, 13 Oct (HS): Gram Praharis serve as the backbone

of Uttar Pradesh's rural policing system, providing a key communication link

between local villages and police stations in order to preserve peace and

order. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has promised a Rs. 1,000

rise in the monthly honorarium for the state's 68,000 Gram Praharis. During an

event at Bareilly's Reserve Police Lines, the Chief Minister will recognize

Gram Praharis for their critical role in rural security and criminal

intelligence collection. The monthly wage has been boosted from Rs. 2,500 to Rs.

3,500. This is a one-time 40% rise in their income.

He stated in a post on X, “The role of Gram Praharis is

extremely important in realizing the resolve for a safe society, empowered

villages, and a crime-free Uttar Pradesh. Today, in Nath Nagri Bareilly, I will

honor the 68,000 Gram Praharis of the state who have made commendable

contributions to police cooperation and crime control, and encourage their

enthusiasm. The dedication of these sentinel brothers, who strengthen the

security system at the village level, is praiseworthy.”
