Only written and physical tests criteria for police recruitment

CHANDIGARH, OCT 30
 Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal today said that with a view to ensure transparency in police recruitment, provide jobs purely on the basis of merit and eliminate corruption, it has been decided to do away with the system of interview in such recruitment. However, recruitments in Police would be held only through written and physical tests.
     The Chief Minister was reviewing the functioning of Home Department in a meeting with Additional Chief Secretary, Home, Mr Roshan Lal, Director General Police, Mr S.N.Vashisth and other senior Police officers here today. 
          The Chief Minister stressed that communal harmony be maintained at all cost and emphasis should be laid on ensuring the safety of members belonging to weaker sections of the society and the women. There is a need to check crime against women with a firm hand, he added.
          Mr Manohar Lal also stressed the need for opening more drivers’ training schools saying that only license holders should be permitted to drive heavy vehicles and dumpers so as to check road accidents.
          While reviewing the system  to redress  grievances, the Chief Minister said that grievances of the people should be redressed promptly and each complainant should be given a receipt of having received his complaint in writing.
          The Chief Minister expressed his concern over the incident in which two students of North-East were beaten up in Gurgaon recently and directed the officers to ensure that such incidents are not repeated. The people hailing from North-East should be integrated with the main stream and they should not feel isolated, especially in Gurgaon.He said that a new programme known as “Vasudev Kutumbkum-Mera Desh-Mera Parivar” would be launched with the support of Non-Governmental Organisations to further strengthen national integration.
