‘Agniveers’ To Get Priority In Police Recruitment In UP: CM Yogi

Mumbai: UP CM Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said ‘Agniveers’, soldiers who are recruited in the Army, Navy and the Air Force under the ‘Agnipath’ scheme, will get priority in recruitment to police and related services in the state.

This comes a day after Defense Minister Rajnath Singh unveiled the ‘Agneepath scheme’ of short-term contractual recruitment of soldiers in the three services, including the Army, Navy and Air Force, with a maximum extension of four years.

@UPGovt will give priority to Agniveers in the (recruitment of) state police and related services after they serve Maa Bharti (country),” Adityanath tweeted.

He said, “The double-engine government of BJP is dedicated and committed to the upliftment of the youth and to secure their future. Jai Hind!”

Adityanath had earlier praised the scheme and said it will create a “golden chapter” in Indian military history.
