The Punjab government has approved the recruitment of 3,565 traffic assistants and constables to address a shortage of personnel in the provincial police force.
According to a report by 24News, the recruitment was approved during a cabinet meeting chaired by the Punjab chief minister. The hiring process is expected to begin soon.
The approved recruitment will be carried out in two phases. The government will fill 50% of the sanctioned positions in the first phase, while the remaining 50% will be recruited during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026-27. In the first phase, the government will recruit 1,782 constables in the General Executive Cadre.
The government said additional recruitment is necessary to meet the police force’s staffing requirements. Under the Police Rules 1934, one police official is assigned to provide security for every 450 people.
The new recruitment is aimed at addressing the resulting personnel shortage and strengthening the Punjab Police’s capacity to meet security requirements across the province.
