Constable Appointment Ceremony
‘Jobs for youth without recommendations and without cost’
Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said that the current era is an unprecedented one since India’s independence, in which the country is receiving strong and efficient leadership from the illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. By removing Article 370 and integrating Jammu and Kashmir into the mainstream, the country’s unity and integrity was strengthened. Bhajan Lal Sharma said that the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir is a true tribute to the Iron Man, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, who made extraordinary contributions to the country’s unification.
_*Union Home Minister Strengthens Internal Security by Eliminating Naxalism*_
Chief Minister Sharma said that the Union Home Minister has strengthened the country’s internal security by eliminating Naxalism. Three new laws introduced in the country, eliminating colonial-minded laws, have made the country’s judicial system more democratic. The CAA has paved the way for granting Indian citizenship to minorities facing religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Furthermore, significant peace agreements in the Northeast have led to a large number of youth giving up arms and returning to the mainstream, catapulting the Northeast region of the country rapidly on the path of peace and development.
_*Newly Selected Constables Should Work With Alertness, Competence, and Readiness*_
Congratulating the constables who received their appointment letters, the Chief Minister said that receiving the appointment letter from the Union Home Minister is a icing on the cake for the youth. This moment will always inspire them to perform their duties with utmost devotion and dedication. He said that all newly selected constables must thoroughly understand the provisions of the three new laws and work in accordance with their spirit, remaining alert, competent, and prepared to face every challenge, from cybercrime to organized crime. He said that the state government has transformed the old methods of police training and modernized them, incorporating technologies such as AI and advanced forensics.
_*Important work done to strengthen law and order*_
Chief Minister Sharma said that to strengthen law and order, our government has undertaken several important initiatives in the last two years, including establishing 65 anti-Romeo squads, 500 Kalika patrolling units, and installing 9,400 CCTV cameras for women’s safety. By forming an SIT, nearly 400 accused have been arrested in cases of irregularities in examinations. Operation Cyber Shield has been launched to curb cybercrime, and cyber help desks have been established in all police stations. These efforts have significantly improved law and order.
_*Rajasthan Cyber Crime Coordination Center to be established*_
On this occasion, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma announced the establishment of the Rajasthan Cyber Crime Coordination Center (R4C) in the state, modeled after the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C), to effectively address the challenge of cybercrime.
R4C will be developed as a Center of Excellence in the field of cybercrime control. Through R4C, a robust and centralized framework will be provided for coordination, information sharing, and investigation related to cybercrime across all districts of the state. Police officers will also be empowered.
Director General of Police Rajiv Kumar Sharma stated that constables are the backbone of the criminal justice system. He stated that the appointment of over 8,000 constables will strengthen the state’s law and order. He added that the implementation of the new law has led to unprecedented improvements in the quality of investigations in the state.
Amit Shah symbolically presented appointment letters to 10 constables at the event. Over 8,000 constables were awarded appointment letters at the event. Earlier, he virtually inaugurated the multi-purpose indoor hall built at the Rajasthan Police Academy, Jaipur, under the Khelo India scheme of the Government of India.
Deputy Chief Minister Dr. Premchand Bairwa, Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham, MP Madan Rathore, Chief Secretary V. Srinivas, public representatives, police officers, a large number of newly appointed constables and their families were present on the occasion.
*‘Bhajanlal government freed Rajasthan from paper leaks’*
*Three new laws guarantee protection of body, property and honor*
*– Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah*
*The State View, Jaipur*
Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said that a state can progress only through transparent recruitment of public servants, and Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma’s government has ended the previous government’s practice of paper leaks, thus freeing Rajasthan from this menace. He said that our state government, by maintaining transparency in the recruitment process, eliminating corruption and respecting merit, is providing jobs to the youth of Rajasthan ‘without recommendations and without any cost’.
Amit Shah was addressing the Constable Appointment Ceremony at the RPA on Saturday. He said that the development of the state is possible only with good law and order. Keeping this in mind, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma’s government has not only stopped paper leaks but also strengthened law and order and, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, has worked to make Rajasthan a leading state for investment in the entire country. As a result, investors from all over the country are now competing to invest in Rajasthan.
*Rajasthan Police: A leading police force in the country*
The Union Home Minister said that the Rajasthan Police force ranks among the leading and capable police forces in the country. Congratulating the newly selected constables on receiving their appointment letters, he said that the young people who have received their uniforms today should focus completely on their training with a calm mind and thereafter, through their work, ensure the service and security of the public, thus realizing the resolve for a safe Rajasthan. He expressed happiness that more than 2,500 women were among the selected constables. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that in this state, with its more than 1,000-kilometer-long border with Pakistan, the rugged ravines of Chambal, the Thar Desert, tourist destinations like Ajmer Sharif Dargah, Pushkar, Nathdwara, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaipur, and natural sites like Ranthambore, Sariska, and Keoladeo, the geographical conditions further increase the challenges for the police. He said that Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma’s government has demonstrated the difference that a government committed to transparent governance and maintaining law and order can make in the state. He said that in the two years since our government came to power in Rajasthan, there has been a more than 14 percent reduction in total crimes. Serious crimes have decreased by 19 percent, murders by 25 percent, attempted murders by 19 percent, atrocities against women by 10 percent, crimes against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes by 28 percent, dacoity cases by 47 percent, and robbery cases by approximately 51 percent.
_*Rajasthan Police Modernized in Two Years*_
The Union Home Minister said that in the last two years, several important initiatives have been taken in the Rajasthan Police, including the formation of an Anti-Gangster Task Force, the integration of 112, CCTNS, and the Inter-Operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) with the Abhay Command Center for police modernization, the launch of the Kalika Patrolling Unit, and the initiation of the formation of an Anti-Narcotics Task Force. In this regard, a significant step has been taken with the establishment of the Rajasthan Cyber Crime Coordination Center to prevent cybercrimes.
_*All Five Pillars of the Criminal Justice System Connected Online*_
Amit Shah said that under the leadership of the successful Prime Minister of the country, Narendra Modi, three new laws, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, have been introduced, replacing the laws made by the British 150 years ago. These codes have been created to ensure the guarantee of protection of life, property, and honor provided by the Constitution. Giving importance to technology in the new laws, all five pillars of the criminal justice system—police, prosecution, prisons, FSL, and courts—have been connected online. Several new provisions have been introduced through these laws to protect the rights of citizens. A new chapter on women’s safety and child protection has also been added. Along with defining terrorism and organized crime, forensic science laboratory (FSL) investigations have been made mandatory in cases involving offenses punishable with seven years or more of imprisonment.
The Union Home Minister stated that once these laws are fully implemented, all FIRs registered will be resolved with justice delivered up to the Supreme Court within three years. He added that these laws have increased the conviction rate of the Rajasthan Police from 41 percent to 60 percent, and this rate is expected to reach 85 percent in the future.
