West Bengal CM Addresses Police Force Shortcomings, Announces Recruitment Plans
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari highlighted deficiencies in the state police force, attributing issues like lack of infrastructure, logistics, and training to the previous Trinamool Congress (TMC) government. At an event in Kolkata, he handed appointment letters to 309 new recruits and announced plans to hire around 10,000 more personnel, including women. The BJP-led administration aims to strengthen policing and improve law and order, citing past staff shortages and reliance on civic volunteers under the TMC.
