News India Live, Digital Desk: Boys and girls from every village and street of UP dream of becoming constables in UP Police. Years of sweat are shed, runs are made on the ground and coaching is done day and night. But imagine what would have happened to that candidate when he came to know that when the recruitment for which he was waiting for 4-5 years came, he was already of age.
Akhilesh Yadav’s support: Politics or reality?
Akhilesh Yadav is now seen standing with the youth trapped in this ‘storm of age’. He has tried to put pressure on the government through social media and his statements as to why the youth should be punished for the delay in recruitment processes. His logic is simple, if the government has taken time in creating vacancies, then students should get additional relaxation of 3 to 5 years.
What do students say?
Hashtags like ‘UP Police Age Relaxation’ often trend on social media. Students say that in the intervening years, recruitments remained halted due to Corona and other reasons. In such a situation, the youth who were preparing at that time have now officially come under the category of ‘overage’. They say that this could be their last chance, and if the government does not change the rules this time, their hard work will be completely ruined.
Challenge before the government
This is a difficult balance for the administration. On one hand there is the legitimate demand and emotional pressure of the youth, and on the other hand there are limitations of law and recruitment process. However, in view of the elections and the resentment of the youth, sometimes governments find a middle path. Akhilesh Yadav speaking openly on this issue can definitely force the Recruitment Board (UPPRPB) and the state government to think again.
An advice for those preparing
Even though there is confusion regarding the age limit, students who are on the boundary line should not reduce their studies and physical training. If there is relief of even one year from the government level, then the competition in the examination will be very tough. In the end, this issue is no longer just about a job, but is about the respect and trust of thousands of families.
