In a ceremony brimming with patriotism, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reviewed the passing-out parade of 2,577 newly trained Punjab Police personnel at Jalandhar’s PAP grounds on February 25. This massive recruitment drive signals Punjab’s aggressive push towards a robust security apparatus.
DGP Gaurav Yadav thanked the CM via social media, praising the recruits’ rigorous training at top-tier academies including MRS PAP Phillaur and ISTC Kapurthala. These officers—DSPs, SIs, and constables—are poised to elevate public service standards with their expertise.
CM Mann’s speech was a rallying cry. He lauded the police’s storied valor and extended warm welcomes to the new inductees. Looking ahead, he revealed ambitious hiring plans: 3,400 more positions by 2026. ‘Since our 2022 victory, we’ve poured resources into modernizing the force,’ Mann stated, ensuring no budget shortfalls for advanced gear.
He drew attention to cross-border threats, detailing the swift police response in Gurdaspur—two arrests and one encounter elimination tied to Pakistan. Punjab’s prestigious training hubs attract interstate interest, but infrastructure limits broader access. Mann urged continued excellence from the force.
This event not only bolsters numbers but reignites the spirit of service, fortifying Punjab against emerging challenges with a battle-ready police cadre.
