Lucknow: The Uttarakhand government would recruit 4,000 policemen to fill vacancies in the force due to the unwillingness of personnel to shift from Uttar Pradesh to the hilly state even after nine years of its formation.
Uttarakhand chief minister Ramesh Pokahriyal Nishank, who was here to meet his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Mayawati said 4000 policemen were delaying their transfer on different grounds in the past nine years.
"As they had been delaying shifting to Uttarkhand and had been taking recourse in the court, it was felt that fresh appointments of youths of the hill state, having better knowledge of the region, be made to permanently fill the shortfall," he said.
Nishank was here to discuss pending issues relating to division of assets and properties on account of the bifurcation of Uttar Pradesh.
Terming his meeting with Mayawati as positive, Nishnak said he was promised of assistance in organising the "Mahakumbh" in Haridwar early next year.
