Uttar Pradesh Constables Face Recovery Demands After Clearing SI Recruitment
Around 1,700 Uttar Pradesh Police constables who cleared the Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment exam face uncertainty as they must repay training costs and salaries received during their service before joining as SIs. The department seeks recovery of approximately Rs 7.34 lakh per candidate, citing rules for employees leaving within two years. The constables argue their case differs since they are advancing within the police force. About 350-400 constables have sought release after qualifying for other government posts, raising manpower concerns.
