Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday issued an order providing three-year age relaxation for candidates applying for the recruitment of 60,244 police constables.
The chief minister's instruction to the Home Department came in the wake of demands from youths and public representatives who cited the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on career prospects of youngsters in the state.
Earlier on Tuesday, Jewar (Gautam Buddh Nagar) MLA Dhirendra Singh and Anupshahar (Bulandshahr) MLA Sanjay Sharma also met the chief minister in the state capital to press for the age relaxation.
