SRINAGAR: The ongoing process of recruitment into the Jammu and Kashmir Police will greatly help in facing the challenge of militancy, State police chief S P Vaid said today as he witnessed the recruitment rally in south Kashmir.

3710 candidates, including 69 females, have applied for the posts of constable despite threats from the militants against joining the police and security forces.

“The recruitment of the youth in the Jammu and Kashmir Police will be of great help in facing the challenge of militancy as police has been on the forefront of the fight (against militancy) from 1990,” Vaid said.

The Director General of Police made the comments after inspecting the recruitment process of the constables at District Police Lines, Pulwama, in south Kashmir. (AGENCIES)
