A grand passing-out parade was held at the Police Lines ground in Varanasi on Sunday, formally inducting 491 women as constables into the Uttar Pradesh Police after they completed their training under the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment Process-2025.
Commissioner of Police Mohit Agarwal took the salute of 18 squads comprising the 491 women constables from the dais and inspected the parade, which was conducted under the command of Parade Commander Constable Renu. The contingents presented an impressive march-past, showcasing discipline, coordination, uniformity, and physical proficiency. Following the march-past, an oath was administered to all trainee constables, pledging dedication to duty, honesty, impartiality, and public service.
