A group of Uttar Pradesh police constables who have cleared the Sub‑Inspector selection have formally requested the state government to waive the mandatory training period and any salary recovery measures.
A batch of constables from the Uttar Pradesh police force has successfully cleared the competitive examination for Sub‑Inspector (SI) posts. Following the clearance, the officers submitted a formal petition to the state government asking for two specific concessions.
The constables are seeking a waiver of the compulsory training period that typically follows SI recruitment, arguing that the mandatory program would delay their deployment and affect their earnings. In addition, they have requested that any pending salary recovery actions be suspended, citing financial strain on the personnel.
The petition highlights the broader concerns of lower‑rank police staff who, after clearing higher‑level exams, often face procedural hurdles before assuming new responsibilities. While the request has been lodged, officials of the Uttar Pradesh Home Department have not yet issued a response.
The outcome of this plea could set a precedent for how recruitment-related training and financial policies are handled for police personnel in the state.
