Srinagar: Hundreds of
youngsters Wednesday thronged the first police recruitment rally
held in Jammu and Kashmir's Old City Srinagar after the recent
summer unrest here Wednesday.
Hundreds of youth lined up in the Khanyar locality of Old City in
summer capital Srinagar to join the local police.
Wednesday's was the first on-the-spot police recruitment rally
held in the politically sensitive Khanyar locality of Srinagar
which had witnessed pitched clashes between the security forces
and the protesters, mostly the youth, during the over
four-month-long summer unrest in the valley.
Over 100 people had lost their lives in clashes between unruly
mobs and the security forces during the unrest.
"The response to the recruitment rally proves that the youth here
want to earn an honourable living for themselves," Kashmir
Inspector General of Police S.M. Sahai said.
"Even those youth against whom minor charges of stone pelting
cases might be pending are welcome to join the police force," said
Sahai, who supervised the recruitment rally to ensure that it was
transparent and credible.
The zonal police chief also said that it has been the intention of
the police to recruit youth into the force from areas where their
representation have been inadequate.
"It is chiefly because of unemployment that some youngsters
indulged in stone pelting this summer," said Irshad Ahmad, an
aspiring police officer.
"Given a respectable job and an honourable opportunity to support
our families, the youth would not waste themselves in anti-social
activities," Ahmad told reporters at the Khanyar recruitment
rally.
Wednesday's rally was part of the continuing effort by the state
police to provide opportunities to youngsters to join the police
force through hassle-free and transparent recruitment processes.
