**Bihar Bolsters Police Force with Massive Recruitment Drive**

**Patna, June 29, 2025:** In a significant move to strengthen law enforcement, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar distributed appointment letters to 21,391 newly appointed police constables on Saturday. Speaking at the ceremony held at Babu Sabhagar, CM Kumar highlighted the state government’s commitment to development and maintaining the rule of law since taking office in 2005.

Kumar contrasted the current situation with the previous RJD regime, pointing to improvements in law and order. He emphasized the substantial increase in the police force, driven by a 35% reservation policy for women implemented in 2013. This initiative has resulted in approximately 36,000 women in the Bihar Police, a national high.

The Chief Minister, flanked by Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, announced further recruitment plans for 42,609 constables, with examinations for 19,838 posts scheduled next month. He instructed DGP Vinay Kumar to ensure the police force has adequate resources and urged the new recruits to rigorously enforce the law.

The event included an oath of police duty and discipline administered by the DGP, and an oath of prohibition administered by the Development Commissioner. A film showcasing the achievements of the Bihar Police was also screened. The government aims to fill all vacant posts with these ongoing recruitment efforts.
