Uttar Pradesh Police has announced 32,679 constable vacancies for 2026, with applications opening December 31, 2025. While the recruitment is welcomed, general category candidates are demanding a three-year age relaxation. They argue that delays in previous recruitments have made them overage for the current 18-22 age limit. A BJP alliance partner MLA has supported this demand, citing a Chief Minister's assurance and writing to him regarding the issue.
