LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath conducted a high-level review meeting on Wednesday to address several key issues, including the home guard recruitment examination, arrangements for smart meters, the availability of petroleum products, and the overall law and order situation in the state.
During the meeting, held via video conference, he issued detailed instructions to officials regarding preparations, public facilities, and security arrangements for the home guard recruitment examination scheduled on April 25, 26, and 27, according to an official statement.
The chief minister noted that, for the first time, the examination is being conducted through the UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board, and all concerned officials must exercise heightened vigilance.
District magistrates recently posted in various districts were directed to ensure proper coordination with divisional commissioners and senior police officials at the ADG/IG level.
Adityanath emphasised that there should be no compromise on the integrity and confidentiality of the examination. He warned that strict action must be taken against anyone attempting to disrupt its fairness, the statement said.
