J&K Police Induct 4,000 Constables as LG Sinha Calls for AI‑Ready Force

The intake cuts vacancies, signaling a push to counter tech‑driven threats.

Overview

  • The Jammu and Kashmir Police, which held a presentation ceremony Sunday in Srinagar, inducted about 4,000 constables selected by the JKSSB through a merit‑based process.
  • Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha urged the force to integrate artificial intelligence and set a clear roadmap to confront cybercrime, narco‑terror, digital fraud and narrative warfare.
  • Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat said the new recruits will serve as force multipliers in anti‑terror operations and strengthen efforts against drugs and organized crime.
  • Prabhat cited a sanctioned constable strength of about 53,000 with a little over 40,000 posted, and said recruitment for another 6,484 constables has already begun to close gaps.
  • The new batch includes more than 600 women and many graduates and engineers, and training will cover fitness, law, technology, jungle warfare and advanced policing.
