The posts of constable in the Jammu and Kashmir Police were last advertised in 2019. About 4,022 posts are now being advertised that will result in strengthening the ranks of constables in the force, which is at the forefront of counter-insurgency operations in the Union Territory. ”This will greatly help in reinforcing the capability of law enforcement to effectively address various security challenges and maintain peace and order,” an official spokesperson said.
